.why do i torture myself?

i already know i hate hiking and yet i still went. getting nice pictures is all well and good, but when you’re gasping for air half the time its no fun. even little olivia (feet shown) was a trooper while i brought up the rear.

of course i could have made up some excuse about taking pictures and just yelling, “hey…yea i will catch up later, im taking pictures.” instead i opted to become the caboose walking even slower than the love birds (below).

its not a creeper shot, they just happened to be where we were wanting to take the group shot (seen below)

 

it makes me feel a lot better when im at home reviewing the pictures i took and realizing, “yea i guess it was worth it.” the weather was swell for pictures though the occasional cloud cover was a real bother (what a day to decide to shoot manual). i now must sleep as i am scheduled as a singer tomorrow, or rather in 6ish hours.

gutten nacht…bis morgen

.goin legit!

ok so i realized that if im ever going to be legit i cannot be mixing my nonsensical randomness with my photography work. i will still be posting pictures on this blog, but my more serious legit pictures will be posted on my other blog supranafoto.blogspot.com

does this mean i will stop being random? no probably not.

so if you want a good laugh or just need something to do on the vastness that is the internet just continue reading this blog, but if you want straight up photo talk visit my other blog.

.wedding assist 090709

so today was my first official wedding photo assist for Adi. now assisting does not mean im an official wedding photographer, im just assisting one. i was simply a pack mule, and perfectly content with that position. it was fun learning from a person with waaay more knowledge and skill than i, and watching him do his thing really got me thinking on how much i still need to learn. even though i was running around most of the time doing his every whim, i was still able to eek out a couple shots here and there. my job as an assistant came first so i wasn’t able to take my time to compose shots i really wanted. at the end of the day it was still a really fun wedding to assist/shoot.
