Excuse Me While I Bliss Out...

It Has Been Many a Moon...

This is a selection of photographs I have taken of moons from my home during the past few years.  In all cases  I have used a Panasonic Lumix.  Lately it has been the DMC-ZS19 with a 20xHD.    Most all of the pictures in this blog are taken by me.  I no longer have a studio for painting and sculpture, and consider my photographs as art.

Summer Was a Late Bloomer This Year

Farm Fresh Produce

...just discovered, this morning, our friendly neighborhood family farm.  

"Blue Jasmine"

I didn't want it ever to be over, and almost did a standing ovation---twice.  ...on seeing BLUE JASMINE, by "the matinee maven" (me).



"The Way Way Back"

"Geez, adolescence is so painful," as the film film entitled THE WAY WAY BACK so aptly depicts.  I couldn't help noticing that the music became another actor in this talented cast.  An original motion picture score by Rob Simonsen often described what the painfully shy and broken teenager was unable to express.

Losing Yourself in Art

This interactive sculpture entitled "Penetrable," was made in 1990 of painted iron, aluminum and plastic hoses by the Venezuelan artist, Jesus Rafeal Soto.  Currently installed in the courtyard at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the artist should be thrilled to see how the people enjoy experiencing the piece.  

Being at Broad Contemporary Art Museum

...so true.  

Created in 1989 by the American artist, Barbara Kruger, this photographic screenprint on vinyl is from The Broad Art Foundation, Santa Monica.

I CHARLESTON L.A.

Los Angeles is my hometown.  These dancers have celebrated it!  Hope you love it as much as I do.  

"ANYTHING GOES" - at the Ahmanson Theater

When hearing the S.S.America's horn blast the ship ahoy signal, the audience of this musical comedy is about to have more fun than when really on the high seas.  photos: JOAN MARCUS Roundabout Theater Company

With Cole Porter's songs and a new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman, the setting is 1932, when life is good and the real celebrities carry tommy guns in their violin cases.  It is when their names are Baby Face and Moon Face.  And, the only criminal the Captain really wants on board is the #1 Wanted Man---Snake Eyes. 

It is no wonder that the show won Tony Awards, in 2011, for it's excellent production and talent.  Every character is so different and colorful and the laughter-filled audience is rooting for them all.    Even the orchestra pit gets involved.  By the look of his Captain's hat, it seems the leader could perform a marriage. 

   

This production could not be more scintillating!  An exquisite feast of setting and lighting, appropriately showcasing  the immense talent on board. 

   So, book your cruise...errr...theater tickets, as this spectacular romp ends January 6, 2013, at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles.  This is one journey not to be missed.
