The Concert, Rehearsal and the Grammys photos are all done!
Beyond the usual excellent performances by the Vashon High School and McMurray Middle School bands that mark the annual Vashon Island Pops Concerts, this year's concert was notable in that it headlined a performance of Grammy Award-winner Christopher Tin's "Baba Yetu" -- conducted by Christopher Tin himself. After a long collaboration between Vashon School District Band Director Ken Querhn and Christopher Tin, Mr Q wrote a non-choral arrangement of "Baba Yetu" and Christopher Tin agreed to travel up from Los Angeles to conduct the premier performance of this new arrangement.
Then, if that weren't enough, Mr Tin graciously agreed to bring one of his two Grammys along with him, and all the McMurray sixth, seventh and eigth grade band members who were at the morning's rehearsal had a chance to be photographed with Christopher Tin and his Grammy!
Christopher Tin turned out to be a very real, very warm human being who is clearly in love with his work, and who can communicate that love to middle- and high-school age musicians. As evidence of this, Christopher stayed after the performance and spoke to, gave autographs to, or took photos with every single student and parent who wanted to meet him. Not every Grammy winner would do this, I'd bet!

I wanted to do something a little different with these: not just stand at the finish line and shoot winners and losers, but go out on the course and try to capture more of what the actual racing feels like.
These were all shot with a very slow (1/15th, 1/30th sec) shutter speed while I panned the camera with the runner and shot something slightly less than ten frames per second in Continuous Shooting mode. Of the 881 photos I actually shot, 196 made the first cut and I ended up using 77 :-/ For a first attempt I'm pretty happy with the way they came out...
