Good Company Players

[dropcap]C[/dropcap]ool projects don't come around too often so when they do, I get pretty excited. I was asked to help with the photography for The Fresno Bee's first-ever e-book to be written about Fresno's Good Company Players, who have been performing shows in Fresno for 40 years. I jumped at the chance to be involved, one: because it's our first e-book, and how cool is that? and two: I finally get to do a bit of photojournalism on one of my favorite subjects - live theater. So reporter Donald Munro and myself followed co-founder Dan Pessano around for a couple of days doing stills and video. Donald actually followed Pessano and many of the other people involved in the program a lot longer than I did - after all, he had to write a book. But I was happy to see what it was like to be behind the scenes before a performance of "Fiddler on the Roof" and that was pretty cool. A lot of what I did involved video, galleries of past shows and other online components. For more on that, see the section about it on the Bee's website. This blog shows mainly the documentary work I did plus an image I made for the book cover.
