Artsy

At a subway station in Toronto last week, trying to be artsy:

A tripod would have helped.

Last day of holiday

Although I’ve had little down-time this summer, today is officially my last day of summer holiday, since contracts begin tomorrow at Webster University.

So I’m posting some of my favorite memories from the summer!

Great cross of the military order of Maria-Therese, 1765.

Am loving this soda!!!

With Greta, my youngest student.

Audrey and Eden.

One last peek at the Duomo.

Austen.

At my seat in the third mezzanine.

Chase.

Johann Strauss the Younger.

Esterhazy torte!!! My favorite. I finally had one on my 10th day in Austria.

“Selfie for 57.” A selfie-in-a-mirror from the Hofmobiliendepot on Tuesday.

Detail of children’s carriage wheel.

Kurt.

Luke.

With Isabella, a junior at Burroughs.

My Tuesday lunch of Swedish meatballs, whipped potatoes, pickled cucumber, and tart lingonberries.

Look closely

I was sitting at my breakfast table on Sunday.  Auggie was at the opposite end of the house, pining for the outdoors from his usual perch.  I thought this might make an interesting photo.

Head shots

I made the offer a few weeks ago.  And several students took me up this weekend.

I need to work on my portrait photography, and several sophomores in the Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts needed headshots.  Why not offer a free photo shoot, so that I could get some practice and they could (I hope) get some decent shots?

Several of the students have posted photos on Facebook, so I’m sharing a sample of the work we did on Saturday and Sunday! —

I’ll have these three in MUSC 2910 Applied Musicianship for Musical Theatre this semester, and get to witness these glorious talents three times a week.
