City Lights Show Choir

October 21, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

With 7 days remaining until we were supposed to turn in our first take of the single flash assignment, I was starting to panic.  It was a rainy ugly day, so I looked for an indoors event to shoot.  I found a volleyball game at Rock Bridge High School and decided to wait until the start of the varsity game.  In the meantime, I was walking around when I heard singing coming from down a hall.  I headed down then and found the City Lights Show Choir about to start rehearsal.  I debated between shooting the volleyball game and the choir practice at the same time, running from one to the other, but choir won out.

The previous post contained the two relevant photos for the assignment.  This is the set.
