I'll try to make this brief, but I wanted to some cool news from work.

The set-up: I work for The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ, a not-for-profit professional theatre focusing on Shakespeare's canon, as well as other classics. I work in the marketing department as the Marketing Associate/Graphic Designer. I'd never sell myself as a photographer, but I can do it in a pinch. Well, recently I got my chance. For the first time we hosted an event at our facility called "ShakesperienceNJ" (co-sponsord by The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC). Several area high- and junior-schools' theatre programs sent their students to perform different Shakespeare plays, as well as participate in a lecture or two. I was asked to photograph all the performances for the day for archive and press purposes. The day went off pretty well, and the photos turned out quite well, too. Anyway, to make a long story short, three of my photographs were published with a feature story in New Jersey's largest newspaper, The Star-Ledger. I have a scan of the article that I will post up here soon, but I wanted to write about before I forgot. Click here for the image of the article.

I guess they liked it...they've asked me to shoot the production photos for our upcoming outdoor production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." I'll let you know how that goes...
