Spice Girls at Sandstone

The date, August 3rd, 1998.

The place, Sandstone Amphitheater 

The characters... Kelly (my daughter on left) her friend Brittany on the right.

Also, a much younger Hyper.. The Kid is doing sun-squint , she was happy.

Waiting for the Spice Girls..

And, the screen opens, there they are. Lots of squeals.

I was just as enthusiastic as the girls... I really liked that group.

It was a really good show and the weather wasn't bad.

Good old Ektachrome 400 with Nikon F4 and 80-200mm lens.

Kelly being attentive and dancing too.

I remember getting in was fairly easy, getting out took over an hour.  Got the girls home around two AM.....   Worth it though.   Great evening.

A Waterfall Wedding

 My good friends Chris and Michael were married this morning by the waterfall at Briarcliff.   Small, private ceremony with a few family and friends.    Warm but wonderful.

You can see all the pictures here:   http://www.davidremley.com/davidremley.com/Michael_and_Kristine.html#grid

 Above, the Bride and her Father Terry.  Below, the groom awaits.

 Difficult lighting situation with direct sun and deep shade.  I used -.3 exposure compensation just to insure detail in the highlights.    D800 18-200DX lens.

 Below, the whole crowd.   Above, the newly married couple.  Congratulations!!!!

State of the Art Soccer Fields Dedicated In Northeast

Four new soccer fields were dedicated Friday evening... two grass and two synthetic..  all are state of the art.  The fields, parking lot, amphitheater and concession stand/restrooms are on the site of the old bus/trolley barn at 9th and Van Brunt.  This view is looking south from the parking lot on 9th Street.

 Several teams put on an exhibition before it was time for the ceremony.

 When it's 101 you make your own shade if necessary.

 Above, the Northeast News was there interviewing Nick...

 The Mayor also arrived as did Jackson County Legislator Theresa Garza Ruiz, her husband Genaro of the Mayor's staff and many from the City Council and Parks Department.

 Left to right,  Congressman Emanuel Cleaver,  Major James,  John Fierro , Jean Paul Chaurand, President of the Parks Board, Parks Board members McClain Bryant and David Mecklenburg, Scott Wagner 1st District at Large Councilman, and Jermaine Reed, 3rd District Councilman.

 Mark McHenry, Parks Department Director was the Master of Ceremonies.

 The Soccer Park was officially opened with first a ribbon cutting.

 Then a ceremonial soccer ball kick by the dignitaries.

The fields are fully lit for nighttime use as well.   Cost was around 2.6 million dollars.
