Christ Episcopal Church Block Party, September 19, 2010 by Gary Allman

The most popular ‘stand’ at the block party was the ‘dunk tank’. It was so hot that afternoon we might have made more money by letting people pay to be dunked.

Christ Episcopal Church Father Daughter Dance

 

Father Daughter Dance 2010 by Gary Allman

I was asked if I would take pictures at the Church’s annual father daughter dance. I’m glad I did as I managed to get several nice portraits. This one is my favorite from the afternoon’s shoot. Here are a sample of the afternoon’s pictures.

Table decorations

Ray preparing for the Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri Youths’ Bishop’s Ball 2010 by Gary Allman

Ray concentrating on folding table decorations.

I volunteered to go with the Youth Group to the annual Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri Youths’ Bishop’s Ball 2010.  Held this year in Kansas City. Then I was asked if I’d mind going early and help get things ready. I enjoy helping out, and I like the driving so it’s not a problem. Between shifting tables and preparing them for the ball I took a few pictures. This is my favourite picture from the weekend. It’s a shame I didn’t notice the decoration was upside down. However, I resisted the temptation to put it right in Photoshop.

St Nicholas Church

St Nicholas Church, Great Hormead, UK by Gary Allman

I noticed the light streaming through the stained glass window onto the bible and chair by the Altar. Despite the low light and no tripod (why is it I carry a tripod around nearly all the time, but when I need one I leave it behind?) I decided to try and capture the play of light. I knew I couldn’t come close to the atmosphere of the moment, but I do like the result.

St Judes, Southsea

St Judes Southsea by Gary Allman

I find this modern sculpture rather menacing. There are two of them, one at either end of the shopping precinct. 

The sculpture is meant to represent the breaking sea – and not a claw which is more how it appears to me.
