So here's a question.

Why do the Misses and I look as if we were pasted into this photo? It appears to be one of those phony images that keep showing up in my news feed. Mr. M-mv was using the Canon Powershot S5 on an automatic setting. It was 4:30ish natural light.

I think the problem is that the camera thought the marquee was the most important part of the image. Heh, heh, heh. Maybe it was. Maybe it was.

The show was good, folks. The orchestra was simply splendid. The dancing was terrific. And the highlight of the show? "Gee, Officer Krupke," a perfectly executed blend of poignancy and raunchy humor.

Auto-focus be damned. That's fantastic photo of the Girls Rule Club!

It is a good photo, even if it does look a bit wonky. I took my son when he was 5, I think, to see the middle school version of West Side Story then bought the soundtrack since he liked the music. OF COURSE he latched on to Officer Krupke, and all sorts of uncomfortable questions ensued.

I think the problem may be the guy behind you in the bright white. I think the camera gets confused when the contrast is so high. I had a similar problem where I was the "high contrast" and it made me look like I was 100 years old. I think to fix it you would have to do a manual focus or a macro setting maybe.

One of my favorite shows ever. I saw it when I was in elementary school at our local dinner theater. Do they even have local diner theaters anymore?

@Crissy Thank you!

@Girl Detective It was a bright spot in a vocally uneven show, so I loved it, raunch and all.

@Elaine I'm pretty sure you're right. He really threw the whole automatic "brain" off, didn't he? *wry grin*

@Jules I don't know. I think there is one in Oak Brook, but I could be wrong.

@Anonymous It's the greatest city in the world. Visit!
