Day 364 - Kids Theater

Thought of the day: Jasmine loves her Wednesday afternoon theater class. The kids act and improvise on the stage with the help of a professional. While Jasmine is busy in her class, Lila loves to dance around and around in a room annexed to the theater fitted with walls of mirrors. I like the special ambience of a theater, perhaps any theater. The elevated stage, dark interior, sparse and interesting lighting make it a challenging yet fascinating place to photograph. I can't help feeling that this place has a sense of gravity. And people and movements bring life to it. It's a simple place but I feel drawn to it in a mysterious way.

Day 304 - B. B. King

Thought of the day: We met a music legend tonight - B.B.King. He gave an energetic performance in Boulder Theater to the enthusiastic reception of hundreds of blues fans.  The advanced age of 85 didn't seem to have an impact on him as one would have imagined. He was warm, humorous and seemed to be enjoying every minute of the concert as much as the audience.  We loved his ease at conversing with the audience as much as his guitar playing and singing.  After all, it's a rare opportunity to see somebody of his statue performing on stage. It was an evening of good music and an evening to be remembered.
