Hey there Craig. I’m here and read your blog when my feed reader tells me you’ve posted something new…and I’m in the country. I like the more vintage feel of the first 7 or so images for this particular event. It’s a period piece so the use of B&W or sepia seems to fit very well. If it was a modern play then perhaps a more color true approach would floss my sugar better.
Wonderful images as per usual. Keep up the good work.

Hey Craig!!! You are amazing.. Looking at these photos make me feel like I was there.. Good Job… but you know that!!! big hug and Happy New Year..
I agree with Graham – the sepia and warmer toned pictures are my favorite, although the black & white is cool too. I looked through all of the pictures you had for this event, and they are awesome. Especially some of Natalie’s…
Hola Craig. I look at your blog! I don’t have one of these fancy rss feeds (keepin’ it old skool) but when I think of you I check up to see what you are doing. I like these pictures, particularly the ones with people (where you can see their expressions really well). Although, as usual, you capture other great details — like the last photo. Color-wise, I agree with Graham that the pictures fit the mood of the play.
Et voila. That is all, I suppose.
Big hug for you and Micah.
Craig! You don’t remember me but suffice it to say we’re friends on facebook and through that medium I come and look at your photos every so often as it reminds me, because I really really like your work. I really some of the more portrait photographs from this set, especially the one from the back of the narrator and the picture captioned “Phoebe Kraus-Scheerer relaxes with the rest of the cast during intermission”.
Also, the picture of the person reading the contract is fantastic.

dude I totally remember you from Steens! Thanks!
Craig,
Your photographs are always amazing! I wanted to let you know I love keeping up with your work. You’ve inspired me to start learning and experimenting more with my camera.
Take care,
Esther
