Behind The Camera

I was at Reps Theatre watching the Pantomime - Sing a Song of Six Pence and I had arrived early expecting it to be fully booked.  Well the house was half empty and as I had gone with my son he had a really fantastic time.  Sue Evans who plays the Witch Watt and is also my sons drama teacher - so excuse me if I am slightly biased - had an incredible make up.

Anyway getting back to the point, there are always signs saying no photographs and I was intent of getting photographs to try and atleast get the word out via two websites I know would publish this kind of information www.zimbojam.com and www.eatout.co.zw. So off I went to speak to Tim the stage manager and I was pleased when the only condition Tim insisted on was that I don’t use the flash.

Now that I had permission I was now able to stand up and get the pictures I wanted. Now usually I’m not one to get up in front of total strangers and definitely not at a theatre where I would be so concerned about getting the way of everyone else or even making a fool of myself, being behind a camera changes all that.

It also changes that way that everyone around you responds to you. Some people will be happy to be in your shot while some will not be impressed at all.  Well when Martin Blot approached me at the end of the evening to ask me to send him some I the pictures I was only too pleased.

I look forward to bring more of the happenings at Reps Theatre online to the Zimbabwean Public

    Yes, being behind a camera can be a blessing or a curse. Sometimes holding up your camera gets you in to an event, sometimes it gets you kicked out…
