sailors!

a sudden little photo project appeared yesterday--the theater people had their dress rehearsal before opening night tonight. wigs! dressing rooms! pointy-fingered director! nervous people getting into character! it was fun.
i snapped about 2 rolls, growing increasingly insecure about it all. i've had about two little sit down sessions with dp to learn about how to use the camera and work with settings.. and suddenly i'm sent off into a dark indoors area with a flash and 800 film to hopefully snap some cool pictures.
but the light ranged heavily, from the murky dark backstage, to dim lit inside the theater, to fairly light inside the dressing rooms.. gah! i was going nutty trying to decide where the flash would do more harm than good, and vice versa. feh.
i think i need to kidnap ruck for one of these photo trips so we can talk WHILE i do it, because i want to get this stuff, but as it is i just feel confused and insecure when i snap the pictures. i'll see a great shot, snap it, and then resign because i'm pretty sure it won't come out as great as i see it.
i got to roam around the dressing rooms. the girls provided lots of broken zippers and wigs and complaints about the heavy makeup. the boys.. well.. two of them were dressed as old-fashioned sailor boys. sailors!
i love the power of the camera. i can stare at people unabashedly, persistently and up close for as long as i like because i put the camera in between. i don't need a reason, no explanation, nothing, and it's accepted.
and theater people are such camera sluts anyway. i found people obviously posing in case i was taking their picture, or people ignoring me completely as they pulled off clothes and squeezed into another costume. sailor boys keeping their hats on because i requested them to. make up smeared on with heavy hands.
such condensed charisma in these tiny brick dressing rooms. muttering of lines, loud laughters and applied eyeliner on them all. i enjoyed it. i've got another 25 pictures to finish off, but i think i'll hold off--they'll be nervous enough, opening night.
other than that... I AM A GOAT GIRL! I AM A GOAT GIRL! I AM A GOAT GIRL! AND I DO MY BRUTISH BEST! .. oh yeah, and sweden will kick canadian booty, jer, face it. heh, heh, heh. cin cin. �� 2:42 p.m.
