California Theatre

I recently had a fun little project and since I’ve now given the gift to my friend and colleague I can share it here: this was a somewhat large collage (17″ x 11″), and I’ve also now made 7×5 greeting cards. All of these images are from the California Theatre, where my friend and I have worked in both Opera San Jose and Symphony San Jose since it reopened in 2004.

The rest ‘o the story: I had, initially, given my friend a set of greeting cards of eight of these images. She said she wasn’t about to send them to anyone, but would, instead, make a collage. Well … I had a lightbulb moment!

Looking Through January 2016

I’m nearing the end of January 2016 photos. I started with December 2016 and thought I’d move backwards but, alas, I was distracted:  I went to January to look for some photos of some friends and so much for my backwards plan. Funny how that goes.

I found this shot at the end and it makes me smile. It also made me look up whether I should use an apostrophe with O when making it plural. I thought not, but it looked so wrong without it. Turns out, according to what I read, I can go either way: it’s actually not necessary (and some will hate it), but to distinguish it from Os as in the operating system or the symbol for osmium I read that it is sometimes used. Please correct me if I’m mistaken because I don’t like to get things like this wrong!
