Jun 23, 2024

Three more of the faces of rogue rehearsals. When the action is that fast, and the lighting that bad, one never has those moments of just knowing that the last shot was the one. The best one can do is hope. Even if you have time to check the exposure to see, which is rare, ut’s not a close enough look. The intro image is Emily, Jess and Melissa in a show moment.
