. . . for a camera to break down would be right about now, don't you think? December, when there are concerts, ceremonies, parties and gatherings. I'm still able to take pictures, but without the flash, which apparently burned out. So there might be a easy fix to the problem, I just have not found it yet. Now I need a steady arm while the shutter stays open for a while, which as you will see, it's usually not the case.
The humorous thing about this all, is that it first happened when a stranger was taking a picture of us at the Seattle Symphony. I thought that she just wasn't pressing it right, so we went back and forth a few times and my friend Erika tried it as well. We had to give up on it since we had less than a minute to get to our seats. This is the best we got, not too bad, but not great.
But wait, I though it would be great to get our picture with us sitting in our box and the Symphony on the background, during the intermission of course. We found a nice and cherry volunteer who was more than happy to take the pictures. She was clicking away until the usher came and told us all that pictures were not allowed inside the Benaroya Hall. Busted!! We truly did not know it, it's common sense not to take pictures during the performance, but during intermission!! We all joked that we would have to go to the Benaroya jail, but at least we had pictures. Yeah right, take a look at the picture that almost got us in trouble.
Nice Christmas wreath in the background!!!Now, pictures aside, the performance of the Handel's Messiah was absolutely beautiful! The choir, singers, orchestra , atmosphere, decorations and our company were all outstanding. But what truly makes this oratorio so amazing are it's lyrics, proclaiming God's great plan & prophecies, gift & sacrifice and ultimately the final overthrow of death.
