This couple had the most wonderful attitude. They laughed and cooperated with the natural light family portraits. They danced at the reception. They told me stories when asked. Their guests were equally wonderful. Every wedding should be like this one, except a tad more warmth and lots more sunlight.

Serendipity strikes again. I took the time to follow my intuitive instinct and went to see the train. I did take some frames of the whole engine and some of the cars, but what I found most interesting was the details. Here is one particularly fun image that resulted from that study.

This is the first year I have participated in any real art event. I have some photos on display at a coffee shop or two and I did have some at one of my favorite restaurants, but this was people actually coming to me to see photos. So I had a selection of portraits and some fashion work. A couple of flowers and then two abstracts. One got most of the attention. I suspect I will get some inquiries regarding this one. See it on my blog next entry.

Near the end of Saturday evening, in walks this couple. They were so cool and collected. I think they were going to be attending a function related to their attire. I took the chance and asked if they would pose and sit for a portrait. They agreed. Here is on result. Sometimes you have to ask for the things you want.
