Weddings are a wonderful time.  So much of our lives revolve around hatred and war and competition.  But a wedding is unique in that it gives everyone a reason to focus on love.  Two people pledge to love one another for the rest of their lives, through good times and through bad.  It is a beautiful reaffirmation of family and commitment.

My best friend is getting married in two and a half weeks, and it has been so much fun helping her out along the way.  Of course, I try to make sure that I have my camera alongside of me to help her commemorate the journey.  A couple of months ago another bridesmaid and I went to her mother’s house to get the invitations signed, sealed and delivered.  Here are some of the pictures from that day.

The invitation

I got an interesting message today from an old friend of mine.  He said he was interested in getting back into photography, and was thinking of challenging himself with some regular assignments.  He wanted to know if I was interested in doing it with him.

For many new photographers this is a great way to force yourself to take photos and evaluate your technique.  It’s what photography courses do, and it’s something I used to do.  It didn’t take me long to take him up on the offer.  And I look forward to seeing what we choose as assignments and in what ways I end up trying to break the mold an habbits I have.
