I have begun posting photos from the 2008 Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts. Click here to see the whole set. I will be uploading the rest of the photos (culled from over 600 taken by the extraordinary Sundesha) over the upcoming days and weeks.

One of our students, Anna, recently took several photos of one of our kung fu classes. She has posted them, along with others she has taken along the way, in a gallery at her DeviantArt page. She has also graciously allowed us to post some of her photos on Master Lee’s website. I will be putting those up as I have time and energy.

Class has been going well this year. We have more students than I have ever seen, with a steady influx of new people. The youngest is about seven, and the oldest in his early seventies. We are already signed up for the annual Festival of the Arts show, about which I have high hopes. The shows just seem to keep getting better and better, which is a tribute both to Master Lee and his students.

I love what I do.

I have just uploaded 18 more photos of our Festival of the Arts performance. These were taken a few days before the actual performance, when our photographer came to our practice space to get a feel for what we would be doing.

As always, update notices will be posted here as I upload more photos.
