Birthday Celebration

On Saturday night I photographed the birthday celebration of a friend of mine. She actually turned 70 over a month ago, but most of her friends are snow birds, so she postponed the celebration till the end of April when they would be back here in Indiana. Over the years Lynn has written several musicals that have been performed by entertainers in the Indianapolis area. in honor of her birthday, about a dozen entertainers and musicians performed several of the songs she has written over the years. The celebration was held in the Indianapolis Yatch Club, and the room was packed! This made it very difficult to maneuver my way around the room to photograph the festivities, but thankfully I brought a telephoto lens that allowed me to take several photos from the back of the room where I wouldn't disturb her friends and family members who were trying to enjoy the show. There was also a balcony that allowed me to take a few photos from a birds eye view. Once Lynn recieved the photos and had a chance to look at them, her response was simple and to the point, "Thank you Mark... the pictures are GREAT!!!!!"
