reflection of pride

Another post on the fly…

My 2GB memory card saw some major action today: cows, pigs, turkeys, snails, ponds, flowers, a cemetery, scantily clad bodies, a helicopter, wings, crowd, a pug-beagle dog, transvestites, and all manner of things in between. Between last night and today (shooting from 9am to about 7pm), I took about half the number of photos I average in a month!

Picture above: the TD float guys putting on sunscreen before their turn in the annual Pride Parade. Reflection in Aubrey’s sunglasses has a bit of my arm and Jose as well.

I got a little sunburnt today.

29 Jun 2008 Wedding Season

Front Street @ Church

I shot an engagement session on Saturday night, and while I was waiting for my couple to arrive, I observed another photo shoot going on right in front of me — a wedding that probably took place at St. James’ Cathedral.

Wedding season is in full summer swing!

The engagement session went really well, I think. I got to practice my directing skills, photography skills, and creativity with people I’d never met before, and the couple were playful and loving in front of the camera. All in all, everyone went home happy at 2am…

… and in a few hours I’m going to wake up early and shoot some more! (I don’t get out of bed this early on a weekend for anything but my biggest hobbies.) This time with a photographer I’d met while taking photos at the International Day of Dance.
