There is no reason i know of that you can't have taken photos of the
orchestra. I think you should post them to wikipedia and this page in
particular:

Ross pretty much had it down in his review.

I was photo-documenting the whole thing for those of you affeared of
traveling SOBA after dark and after I'd taken about ... six photos a
woman in a yellow "Philadelphia Orchestra" t-shirt came over to me and
told me that "photographs of the orchestra cannot appear on a website"
(I kid you not) -- which I took for a moment to be some sort of vampire
thing -- like, they just wouldn't show up on film so I was wasting my
time pressing the shutter button, but then I realized she meant that she
was telling me I wasn't _allowed_ to show anybody photographs of the
orchestra -- which surprised me, it being a public event, outdoors, to
which the media had been invited. But, nonetheless, I have adhered to
her request as best I can. And now provide the weak and infirm on this
list the virtual Orchestra in Clark Park experience:

The crowd pretty much filled the bowl. We could have ended west philly
gentrification in one fell swoop by opening up a few cans of mustard gas
down there. There were so many fancy folding chairs and enviornmentally
sound biodegradable snack-food wrappers being thoughtfully packed out in
trendy picnic baskets made of recycled soda bottles I thought Dennis
Kucinich was going to show up handing out vegan hot dogs:

The conductor, who may or may not be Rossen Milanov, worked it for all
he was worth:

And attracted some auxiliary conductors who had more energy and an
amazing attention span:

Much of the performance was more of a "Symphony for Orchestra, Crying
Babies, and Drum Circle." One highlight of the evening was when the
general din was agumented by a helecopter circling overhead during
Bolero. I thought it was news people, but upon closer inspection it
turned out to be philly PD snipers taking out a couple of off-leash
dogs:

There you have it. Just like you were there.


Hopefully shakespeare's estate will allow photography during Romeo and
Juliet when it plays in the park.
