Dont shoot me its been forever I know... But Ill shoot you....

I was asked to shoot a production rehearsal for a play called shipwrecked the other night produced by the Spinning Tree Theatre Co. here in Kansas City, and after a long day of multiple shoots, a show to boot and just the overall fatigue of the day catching up to me.... I was honestly tired and run down. I had already decided that all I needed was nothing better than a nap and nice dreams to carry me through to the next day.  Its ironic how when you make up your mind to feel a certain way, your whole being will be sure to follow your instructions...  Suffice it to say - this shoot transported my sensibilities back to a time when I was full of imagination and making up story after story without a break from sunrise to sunset (perhaps this is why I wasn't the best student at certain times in my life.)  I was always a creative child, but sometimes forget the power of imagination as an adult and how it can lift you from your everyday ordinary to the possibility of the extraordinary.  How dreams can seem real and anything is possible if you just believe.  Now of course I wont go into a synopsis of the play and what I saw, because its a type of story that simply has to be seen to be appreciated and understood.  But I was thankful to be given an opportunity to be lifted from my day with the memory of what it was like to be a child again.  Thanks Spinning Tree...  Shipwrecked Feb 1-17th at the Paul Mesner Puppet Studio.  Take anyone who likes to smile.
