#TBT: England

The Queen’s death has me thinking about all those trips I’ve taken to the United Kingdom over the last nearly 30 years. I made my first trip in 1995 with the Mixed Choir of Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral, Kansas City. We sang services in Edinburgh in Scotland, traveled our singing way southward through Durham

Photo of the day

Photo of the day: Driving by the National Museum of African American History and Culture this week, I caught this snap of a gardener working on the grounds. The line of his body and the lawnmower echoes the contour of the building itself. And I wonder too if this photo contains an implicit commentary?

Cathedrals

Theaters really are cathedrals, no? I was at the Stifel last week for a show by the Saint Louis Arches. In the midst of my photo-taking, this magic happened: There is in this image such intensity and activity and balletic poise that it took my breath away when I first saw it on my screen

Cycling

Now I so want to go back to England . . . . And these photos!! Such works of art, they are.

Circus Harmony

The advanced troupe from Circus Harmony mounted a full-hour show last week for a Cardinals Cares’ Redbird Rookies event, at the Stifel Theatre. I was one of several people to photograph the event. By the way, my birthday fundraiser for Circus Harmony is live on Facebook. Hop on over and make a contribution to this
