Marley’s Ghost

My friends on Alexander Avenue put on another one of their wonderful plays in the Hommes’ basement this weekend. This time they did an adaptation of the book Marley’s Ghost. Not only did they do a marvelous job on the play, but they also raised a lot of money for the local food share! I did some pretty heavy toning on these photos (partly because the lights down there have such a heavy color cast) and am curious to hear if you like it or if you prefer a more natural look? You can see the rest of the 110 photos I took here. Also I’d appreciate it if you could leave a comment after viewing. I’d like to know if anyone is actually visiting this blog
