Photos I took from a good friend's wedding at the Garrison in upstate NY:

Father-daughter dance:

I do not like winters.  I just want to hibernate.  As a matter of fact, I'd prefer to be at a beach taking photos of surfers or just sunbathing.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could just hibernate on a beach in the winters and then be in the city for the spring/summer/fall?

I want to be on a beach watching surfers do this:  near decapitation?

Or watch buff boys play in the agua:

Or watch haole guys contemplating suicide?

Or cuddling myself on the sands:

Or combining winter and summer and make snowmen on the beach:

. . . who says taking pictures of random things aren't fun?  : ) 

After viewing the wedding pictures, my friend's husband said he didn't like the way he looked during the wedding because he didn't have any time to prep that day.  Therefore, I will be doing an extra photoshoot with the newlyweds sometime next month.

He asked her, "How come nobody asked me if *I* needed my hair done or any makeup for my face?"

She whimsically responded with "You silly, because the wedding day was all about MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

On another note, I hope you don't contract the below disease:

      While in China, a man was very sexually promiscuous and does not use a
      condom all the time. A week after arriving back home in the States,
      he wakes one morning to find his penis covered with bright green and
      purple spots.

      Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor. The doctor, never
      having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells
      the man to return in two days for the results.

      The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says: "I've got
      bad news for you ---you've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare
      and almost unheard of here. We know very little about it."

      The man looks a little perplexed and says: "Well, give me a shot or
      something and fix me up, Doc."

      The doctor answers: "I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to
      have to amputate your penis."

      The man screams in horror, "Absolutely not! I want a second opinion."

      The doctor replies: "Well, it's your choice. Go ahead if you want but
      surgery is your only choice."

      The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he'll
      know more about the disease. The Chinese doctor examines his penis
      and proclaims:
      "Ah, yes, Mongolian VD. Vely lare disease."

      The guy says to the doctor: "Yeah, yeah, I already know that, but
      what can we do? My American doctor wants to operate and amputate my
      penis!"

      The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs: "Stupid Amelican
      docta, always want to opelate. Make more money that way. No need to
      opelate!"

      "Oh, Thank God!" the man replies.

      "Yes," says the Chinese doctor, "You no worry!

      Wait two weeks. Faw off by itself!"

Wedding photos

I love photography.  Capturing great moments creates such intense satisifaction.  A wedding pair that I really like that I see a lot of people using is Something in Blue.  I particularly like their work for a few reasons: 
1) their photojournalistic style
2) the fact that they don't photoshop
3) using film - it captures more texture and depth

For me, I guess I would prefer to use film, but I need the practice on digital, plus digital is easier as the processing for film takes a lot of patience (which if you know me, I have very little of)

More photos I took from C's wedding in Boston:

Morning ceremony: 

The stack of all $100 bills as a gift from the bride's parents:

Photoshoot at the Park:

Reception:

During my speech to the bride, I became a pussy and ended up crying and couldn't finish the speech properly.  She ended up tearing too, ruining her makeup.  I rule.

Her speech thanking everyone:

Congrats to the beautiful newlyweds!  I love you guys!
