Valentine's Day Party
.jpg)
Here are some shots from the Valentine's Day party today. Also a few on the end from the Planetarium trip and the third rehearsal for The Emperor's New Clothes.
These images are compiled into an 11 Meg (2:40) Adobe Flash slideshow(talking.swf) that you should be able to open and view with any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.). To view the slideshow, just click on the photo above.
These images were all captured with a Canon EOS 40D with a Canon BG-E2 battery grip. The short lens is an image stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM). The long lens is a Canon L-series ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF 100-400mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM) with an ET-83C hood.
If you want to view the slideshow as a Windows executable, you can play this version (talking.exe), and it allows you to play, pause, skip forward, backwards, etc.
Image post-processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro.
The soundtrack is Everybody's Talkin' written by Fred Neil (1967) and performed by Harry Nilsson (1968).
Note: The sculpture of the cardinal drinking tea is ""Morning Spirits" by Susan Geissler. The work was partially inspired partially by J.G. Vibert's 1890 painting "The Marvelous Sauce".

EVERYBODY'S TALKIN'
Written by: Fred Neil - 1967
Performed by: Harry Nilsson -1968
Everybody's talkin' at me.
I don't hear a word they're sayin',
Only the echoes of my mind.
People stoppin', starin'.
I can't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin',
Through the pourin' rain.
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes.
Bankin' off of the northeast winds,
Sailin' on summer breeze.
An' skippin' over the ocean like a stone.
Wah-wa-wa-wa-wah,
Wah-wa-wa-wah,
Wah-wa-wah,
Wahhhhhhh.
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin',
Through the pourin' rain.
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes.
Bankin' off of the northeast winds,
Sailin' on summer breeze.
An' skippin' over the ocean like a stone.
Everybody's talkin' at me.
Can't hear a word they're sayin',
Only the echoes of my mind.
I won't let you leave my love behind.
No, I won't let you leave...
Wah-ah-ahhhh.
I won't let you leave my love behind.
