2017 has been an amazing year! I cant believe how fast it went and I cant believe how many amazing companies I got to work with this year. Theatre and performance in Minnesota is incredibly important and I am humbled to be apart of the amazing art that takes place every day. This year I photographed performances that were all across the board. Some were entertaining, some were gut wrenching. I photographed shows that made you take a hard look at your own life leaving you in silence at the end and shows that made you leap to your feet with joy for the incredible work on stage. From awe and wonder to chills and thrills, love and passion to crime and murder, this year of theatre was a joy to photograph.
I cant thank this community enough for bringing such life to our world. I am blown away by the passion of the twin cities theatre community. The incredible amount of hard work and the labor of love to put such enduring work on stage is what keeps me going and keeps me photographing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Here is to you 2017 and I look forward to 2018 with an anxious eye ready to capture the next adventure!
