>What's New!< |
On Sunday, December 21, 2003, a most unusual Christmas pageant was performed at FUSS. The familiar story of Christmas took on a new twist as players from the congregation volunteered spontaneously. The behind the scenes work had all been done, so excellent costumes and stage direction were provided by the real pros. The audience and the players all loved it. Here are a few photos from the event:
Costumes and prompts arranged off-stage in the Emerson room.
Rev. Russ Savage narrates as players enact the pageant.
Wise men from the East deliver goodies as the congregation sings "We Three Kings"

There is a larger collection (32 images) of photos available in an album at PhotoAccess. Those are also much larger files, containing versions of the photos suitable for printing. The PhotoAccess service offers free access to view the photo collection. If you choose to register as a member of PhotoAccess (also free) you can then make digital copies of the photos shared there for your own use. And you have the option of ordering prints of any of the photos shared there. (NOT free: the prices seem reasonable to me; and, of course, the transaction is between you and PhotoAccess: I don't receive any money.) Should you decide to order prints from PhotoAccess, I suggest that you consider carefully the print size you want. Digital photos, these included, typically have different aspect ratios (ratio of length to width) depending on the particular photo. Therefore, printing them all at 4x6, for example, will involve some cropping. If you want 4x6 (or 5x7 or 8x10) in order to fit in frames, read the details on how you want cropping done. Alternatively, if you are not trying to fit specific frame sizes, I would recommend that you order 6" (or 5" or 8") "digital" sizes. That way each print will contain the complete image -- but the shorter dimension will vary depending on the particular photo (e.g. 4.8 x 6 rather than 4 x 6). Of course you could then crop with scissors. The prints will probably take a week or more to arrive. ... Don Porter
