I want to send a HUGE shout out to Chelsea Fedora for capturing these wonderful production photos for us. I LOVE shooting production photos, but i could not have used a better stand in then you! It took many many hours to edit all of these and then to come up with only 80 favorites of the nearly 500 images that are in the album, was even tougher!! I hope you will all enjoy this glimpse into The Addams Family Musical presented by the Paradise Community Theatre at the Paradise Center for the Arts July 2026!

Because I didn't actually shoot the production photos for The Addams Family Musical, I only edited them. I have to post 2 separate albums. I will start with the back stage fun photos I took with my Nikon D40 just for fun. It's a 22 year old camera, that does not handle low light well, but it produced some really cool images across the board. I also took backstage photos with my Fuji Film HS50EXR (11 year old bridge camera). I have so much fun shooting these older camera, and I got some really fun shots!! So I hope you will enjoy a little sneak peek at life backstage at the Paradise Community Theatre!!

This album is going to seem really repetitive to most people, but I was conducting an experiment. I wanted to know how the images from my original 2004 SLR images would stack up against my modern mirrorless camera, and it turned in to this whole big thing, comparing every camera that I have/do use. All of the camera's were shot at similar focal length, except for the telephoto lens, i just liked how those images turned out, I made a full loop of all of the flowers around my house, at least twice each day, and I actually did learn a few things! 1st) Just because it is old does not mean it is bad, but it does mean that it is not a easy to use. both the Nikon and the Olympus turned out some stunning images, Nikon for color, and Olympus for sharpness (This camera has however taken tens of thousands of images in the 22 years I have had it), but resetting the shutter speed and aperture of both was difficult. 2) I think much more about composition when shooting a camera, and 3) everyone of the SLR/ Mirrorless cameras feel so much better in the hand when shooting! I took roughly 56 images in each set, but I chose the 3 that I liked the best over all . It was fun, and I will likely do a telephote comp in the near future! I put the sensor size, and the year the camera was released in the note under the photo, you can see what you think by looking through them!

I have finally finished editing the Graduation photos!! I uploaded a selection of the images here to preview, but there are a ton more. Most of the students have multiple images besides what is shared here. I'm placing the link in this shared post, as well as in the 1st comment on the original post. If you are looking for a larger image file, please reach out to me. Also, share the link so that we make sure everyone sees the photo. The school is supposed to send it out, but more sharing helps make them visible!

A comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, The Addams Family is the magnificently macabre hit musical featuring everyone’s favorite creepy, kooky characters. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man whom her parents have never met. And if that weren't upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before: keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents.
