#2 Photogrraphers

I just deleted the post I had written as I began naming photographers I love and who have worked with the blog. I deleted because as soon as I pushed save I remembered another photographer I had forgotten.

Instead of naming them, I just want to thank all of the talented artists who have shared their work with FH. When I first began FH it was important to me to credit those whose work I posted. I hate seeing a great shot posted on a site or blog and not being able to identify the artist behind it. FH is as interested in those behind the lens as those in front of it. I have said many times that whenever I began profiling a photographer it begins with an image. Something that jumps out at me. My interest then goes to the person behind the camera. What they were thinking, what they planned, what they did not.

I want to thank all the Photographers who work FH, those who graciously share their work with myself, with the blog, with the blog readers. Highlighting the work of my favorite photographers has been one of the joys of putting together this blog the past year and I thank them all!

#1 GLEE

From the very first scene of Fox’s Glee, I knew there was something special about this show. No other show in the past decade has left me feeling so energized, so happy. Well written, well acted, well done! Glee has it all, a winning cast which puts together Broadway and television like never before. Headed by the ridiculously talented Lea Michelle, the entire cast was given time to shine over the first 13 episodes. Glee is able to take you back to high school and pick the scab you long thought had healed.



Glee has had critics and fans raving since it’s debut, which means that it is due for a fall. I am already dreading the backlash. There were a few clunkers in the first 13 but overall the rest, especially the stand out ‘Wheels’ made you quickly forget. I really hope Ryan Murphy keeps his attention firmly on Glee and does not repeat the mistake he made in the past on Nip/Tuck and especially Popular. Popular was Glee without all the singing. Popular’s first season was one of the best shows on television. Popular season 2 was one of tv’s weakest shows.



Glee does not need more guest stars, it does not need new members of the glee club. It does not need to worry if it will be on the air in 5 years. It should not be. This is a show with usually at least 3 musical numbers a show. It cannot sustain excellence for long. Until then the producers and writers need to simply continuing doing what they are doing. Making dam fine tv.




2010 Glee Predition:

I am sure I am not the first person to predict that Kurt's dad and Finn's mom might get together creating Finn and Kurt to be brothers by marriage.
