I am about to take a week off from my blog, though ou won't notice this because I am posting a week's worth of photos today. Everyday, a new one will magically appear at midnight GMT. I am posting these photos with few comments, but you don't come to this blog for the words of wisdom, do you?Happy holidays! I'll be back on January 1, 2011.
A Perfect Setting
Everything about a meal at Cathy & Bill Zs' house it artful. (A word?) The table was set beautifully but the food was even better.
Humane Society?
Compositionally, this isn't a very good photo. But journalistically it gets by because it does tell a story, even if you didn't know that is was taken along the Las Ramblas in Barcelona, Spain. It is a photo of a mendicant (more rudely, a beggar) and his best friends.I suspect that some may ask if he would have to beg if he weren't trying to feed 4 pets. I would ask instead, "What do you value and how much is it worth to you?"
The Wedding Sermon
in Wedding
Prayer
in Architecture, Wedding
I guess this shot is more about architecture than people, though I hope I can be forgiven for this: The First United Methodist Church in Watertown, SD, is a beautiful structure. I know that Gothic cathedrals, like the Notre Dame de Paris, were intended to lift the celebrants' eyes to heaven, while at the same time giving them a sense of smallness and humility. Maybe that's what the architects of this church intended.I like the symmetry of this shot, though if I were staging it, I would have the bridesmaids move about two feet to my right so I could get all three in the frame. Oh, well. . .Finally, you might be wondering about the black and white treatment, given the amazing color present in this shot. I think color sometimes distracts. Also, getting good color at ISO 1600 in a big room with generally dim, mixed light sources can be problematic. But, if you want to see color, click here.Canon 5DII 1/50s f/2.8 ISO1600 85mm
