Into The Unknown

2022_CLondon52w37: ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Denis Villeneuve

From the C.London website: "Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, Dune. Maybe I’m outing myself as a SciFi enthusiast, but I think it’s not a stretch to call Denis Villeneuve as one of the strongest contemporary voices in cinema at the moment. I personally pull a lot of inspiration from his use of scale and color. Choose one of his films, or study some stills from his films for your inspiration this week."

Clondon52w37: Somewhere New

From the C.London website: “So we’ve seen where your most comfortable (your home), let’s now explore a new space for you. It could be an area of your city where you’ve never ventured, or maybe you’re lucky enough to be going some place entirely new this week. As you’re seeing this place with entirely fresh eyes, think about what it is that compels you about that scene and try and create an image which highlights that.”

Admittedly, I had never heard of blues singer, Ruthie Foster.  However, her bio is impressive and we were fortunate to score some tickets to a sold out concert at the Scottsdale MIM Music Theater.  The venue is exquisite with outstanding acoustics and proof of vaccination was required for admittance.  This turned out to be one of the best musical performances I’ve ever attended.

I was surprised that non-flash photography was permitted, so was able to capture a few images during the performance.
