A Saturday Night Out

This is my first posting on the newly created blog site for Phil Ziesemer Photography, Ltd. I thought that I'd write about my night out at the play with my wife, Mary.

"Get Smart" was the fall play for Merrill High School this year. It was an adaptation of the 70's TV show by the same name that featured actor Don Adams as "86," Maxwell Smart and Barbara Feldon as "99." It was hilarious and I find myself still saying quips from that show today, the most famous being, "Would you believe...?" We went to the show for a few reasons, like "hey, in a small town, this is about as much culture as you're going to find," and "hey, this is fun and retro!" and Let's look at the posters that we created for the kids." The last being the very last because we'd already seen the posters since we made them! It's some of the most fun that I have as a photographer. It's always a pleasure to work with fellow artists. The arts must continue to be offered in our schools! (OK, that's as political as I'm going to get)


The play was great fun and the actors and actresses did a fine job. It was the last night of the play's run so they were all on top of their parts as was the crew. It seemed as though the play went off without a missed line or cue. Great Job Guys! Nancy Arndorfer and Anne Caylor directed the show and they have a great way with the kids.

So, that's it. My first blog post. Talk to ya later!
