Dead Martin (2)

An actor acquaintance of mine has created a role and a variety show around this persona he calls "Dead Martin" (a vague reference to Dean Martin.) He is the brain-child behind a program called The Dead Marin Variety Hour. He finds "acts" in Wichita, (some good, talented and/or funny and some so awful they are fumy.) He then puts them together to make a variety show of approximately one hour's length. The audience is usually in varying degrees of inebriation as there is a bar at this theatre where it's put on. The more successful acts are sometimes invited back to perform again. This happens on the last Friday of each month at 11:00 p.m.. It was hoped it would attract local theatre buffs, directors and actors who are out of their own show (by that time) and looking to relax and laugh. There was a good first turnout, the second had an even better attendance and it's looking like it may become a popular thing to do in Wichita.  I took a series of pictures of "Dean" in different poses in different locations using HDR. It's the first time I've worked with HDR in photographing people. I was very pleased with the results. Hope to do it again.
