My old : Marvin Hamlisch & Edward Kleban : A Chorus Line

The #design of the album great ✔️
The music great ✔️
Hugely important to my life ✔️

I saw it as a kid who was already a child actor (mostly stage but some TV).Seeing this really drove home the business & made me realize I didn’t love it enough.

Great design. I would definitely give that a listen.

A++. For me it’s the makeup that gives the extra + and the veil is the cherry on top. I assume it’s the Met Gala which IMO makes it more impressive since too many looks move into costume at that event.

Art by Corinna of a crow gazing to the left, while perched in some curved tree branches. The drawing is sketched in black ink on a white background, with swirls of purple & green. It’s drawn in her own expressive style, slightly abstract & whimsical, where imagination & reality intertwine. 2025.

The world is like an ocean wave. Each wave seems exactly alike, when in fact it is not.

As they say everything old is new again. 😀

You’re welcome as they say, I call like I see ’em. Don’t sell yourself short, you took a beautiful scene and enhanced it with your framing as well as making it accessible to millions of people who didn’t see it originally.

Such a great shot. I love how the image gives the feeling the harvest is rushing out towards the viewer.
