9-18-11

Dance class at the small Halestone Studio in downtown Lexington, Virginia. My view as a doting parent in the little room outside. My girl, of course, is the only one not in the proper outfit...

Another dance class, another studio space, but still operated by Halestone. Another parent watches as her daughter practices for ballet.

A scene from the Rockbridge Community Festival, when Main Street in Lexington is blocked off and filled with booths from artists and artisans as well as community organizations and political parties. I was waiting at the American Cancer Society booth to film an interview with a bicyclist riding across the nation to raise money when gusty winds blew up, threatening to carry away the tent.


The Lexington Presbyterian Church, where "Stonewall" Jackson once attended services. A fire some years ago destroyed the steeple and much of the interior. These days, there is a "controversy" -- or as close as this small town gets to one -- over whether private groups should be allowed to hang flags of their own from the lightposts, specifically whether the Sons of Confederate Veterans may hang Confederate flags on Jackson's and Robert E. Lee's birthdays (near each other -- and unfortunately near that of Martin Luther King, Jr. in January).


My father. If you want to learn more about him and me, I just did a posting at Cat Typing.


Grandparents Day at Heritage Hall, a local care facility.



From my day job, Bob Grebe interviews Virginia Tech chef Nazim Khan for the WDBJ Mornin' show outside Lane Stadium at Virginia Tech.

For about five minutes each morning, as the predawn light begins to rise, my lighting matches the background perfectly...


Each morning, in between live appearances, Bob uses a netbook to get on line and make sure the stories and background material gets on the station's website.


And finally, a fundraising concert for a small Episcopal church in Buena Vista, Virginia, by musicians Blouin and Wolfe.

Shot on a Leica M3 using a 35mm f/2 Summicron lens (the kind with the spectacles) on Kodak's BW400CN film.
