Lady Bracknell Lectures Algernon

I directed The Importance of Being Earnest a few years ago. It has to be the play with the most clever use of language.
A Moment in Photographic History:
On December 16, 1991 Brett Weston turned 80 years old. Of course that means he was born 80 years earlier (oh, I am so clever) but instead of marking the day of his birth, I am marking his 80th birthday because on that day Brett Weston burned his negatives in his home’s fireplace.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
The taint of age can be very beautiful. The wreckage of man-made objects is something more beautiful than the new. Rust and weathering adds a patina of . . . well, I call it ‘elegant shit’ or ‘elegant gorp’.

Was it the full 4 acts or the common 3 acts?
Fantastic portraiture of these two actors.

Love the outfits, great style and colors. My wife’s brother directed many plays and I really enjoyed attending them. Really a wonderful talent and a great way to spend an evening.

I can almost hear her talking and I think she has a lovely accent. Great costumes and lighting.

Sensational portrait, Mr R. Looks of a quality used outside the London theatres as billboard advertisements, top notch quality.
