Salt Water Moon

One of the great things about being a photographer, (and there are many great things), is that you get to be places and do things that many people do not. Two nights ago I had the amazing job of photographing the the production stills for Salt Water Moon, a production by Horse Raven. I got to see something very special, something I could only call magic. Joel Grinke and Abbey Creek, got on stage and did the final tech before opening the next evening. The two performers were outstanding. One hour and twenty two minutes later they took their bows. The performance was brilliant and I got to capture it with my camera.

Often, when doing production stills, you are so absorbed in creating the images, looking for angles, watching exposures, trying to stay quite, that at the end of the show you don't really have a sense of how it was. Not with this show. I was totally absorbed. The script by David French is brilliant (he did win awards for it) and was beautifully interpreted by the actors under the direction of Vancouver Icon, Michael Ferra.



The Show runs until August 1 at the Jericho Arts Centre. For show times and ticket prices, go to their web site http://www.jerichoartscentre.com/ . If you can get the chance, go
