Applemoon “Flying” Slide Show

The fine folks at Applemoon have put together a lovely slide show of photos from our shoot earlier this month. As a Sinatra fan, I thought the sound track was a nice touch. It’s also the title of our wedding web site. http://applemoonphotography.myshowit.com/krisitronengagementslideshow We’ve gotta narrow it down to about 20 pictures for our album, and that’s not going to be easy! So many of them turned out beautifully that it’ll be a shame to pick only 20. Oh well — that’s certainly better than the alternative!

Hopefully, the old saying is true, and will make up for my largess in the writing department as of late. Don’t worry, I’ll be turning out the tripe again soon enough. Until then, enjoy these photos of: Elixir of Love – a very well recieved production of this classic opera, set in a 1950′s west Texas diner. Think of it as opera infused with a Grease-esqe panache. The show just closed last night. Carmen – yes, again. SoCal RV Rendezvous – I presented a seminar on aerobatics at this gathering of RV pilots. If I recall the numbers correctly, more than 50 aircraft showed up. It made for some impressive photos of the ramp… Wild Animal Park backstage tour – this is probably the best way to get up close and personal with...
