I went to visit the Sedona Airport for a WW II USO show put on to promote the Sedona Wine Fest. It was very well put together. WW II planes including a B 25 were on display and Sedona’s local songstresses Shondra Jepperson, Jeanie Carroll and Susannah Martin played the stage dressed for the part with WW II uniforms. They sounded wonderful. Other characters like Rosie the Riveter, a Detective, Jane Mansfield and others from the era were played by local Sedona actors and it was a blast. You can see images from the fun here.  In the dialog box add your email. The password is 092013 The BW tone you see on some of the photos is a tweaked preset on the Lumix GX7.

Here’s a sequence I made with Shondra using the 10 fps burst mode with a preset tweaked to black and white on my Lumix GX7 then turned into sepia and animated gif. The animated gif was created in Photoshop using images imported into the timeline.

That girl can swing!

And a little feedback from Shondra…

“Hey Bob!!
This is HYSTERICAL!!! VERY cool how you captured this.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO Much for taking photos of all of us!! Can hardly wait to see the rest of them!
BIG Hugs,”      Shondra

 

I donated my time shooting and processing these images and video in support of the event…
