Denny Heck’s performance was both captivating and informative. Denny has been involved with WA state politics for a good long time and shared our state’s political history from his own unique perspective. All of the procedes from his performances are going directly to his favorite charities. I took a few pictures that he’ll be able to use for promotion.

Good friends and good food ~ nothing better :)

Then we went from the restaurant downtown to the performance at the Capital Playhouse. It was very dark in the theater, so I was pushing my fastest lenses to their limit to get these shots without using any flash. Sorta like the lighting you might find in a romantic candle lit wedding ceremony ~ fancy that. ;-)

Looking right at me, but the lights kept me in the dark

It looks like he’s looking right at me, but the lights on him and the darkness where I was meant that he couldn’t see me at all… In fact he said in an email today that he didn’t see me taking pictures at all… Ninja Bill. ;-)

Here is the response from Denny to the first couple images I emailed him:

Wow, Bill, just Wow! Thank you! I was completely unaware of you taking photos . . . as was Paula. Wow! Thank you.

Doesn’t get much better than that. Thank you Denny. :)

Looking tired - the makeup and crazy hair really add to the effect

Overall a great evening, and although I didn’t actually get to meet Denny in person, we had to leave right after the performance, I’m looking forward to doing just that in the near future. :)

These show dogs were well behaved as you would expect, but they still had a great time running around in the reeds and chasing the birds :-)

These images will be used for promotion/marketing and an upcoming magazine article about Nico, the oldest of the 3 and a show winner, in the Vizsla News (the cover story!). :)

Reggie is only 15 months old and is all puppy. I brought some beef stick that Jill treated them with to get him to stand at attention. :)

I’m not quite sure how I’m going to get the grass and mud stains out of my white t-shirt, but anything to get the shot, right? Right. ;-)
