Familiar Faces
I have always loved taking pictures of performers during their performances. There's an energy and attitude that I like to capture but also there is the lighting. I have always liked using stage lights to photograph performers. It isn't always easy to take these pictures and on more than one occasion I have been faced with one or more rather large stage hands who would have liked to get their hands on my film. Since I never let that happen, here are some pictures I hope you'll enjoy. ~ Frank
