Very nice set with great sense of emotion and expressions although a bit saturated and I feel the group shot is shot with a too wide focal length...

I love the sense of colour that adds to the abstraction feel of any play.
And your obvious love and attachment for the involved.
And the sense of right moment.

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

I was torn on this regarding the distortion, the distortion adds some emphasis and at the same time it is distracting.

For a high school production, I am struck by the very professional looking costumes, staging and makeup.
Enjoyable set of fotos.

This was the dress rehearsal and the drama teacher gives me free access.

The drama teacher is top notch and these are not ordinary kids. Whitney High School is one of the top, if not the top, public high school in California and in the top ten in the United States. The kids are all exceptional and they throw themselves 110% into everything they do.
