Image Collection {online portfolio #1}

One of my absolute favorite images. Black and white film, I was on a wedding as a second photographer, a gorgeous tall woman with a flowing wedding gown and all of her eight bridesmaids there to help her as she dressed. Before having a digital camera that fact that I took two full rolls of 36 photos in her hotel on getting ready photos alone, was excessive. Now of course 72 frames seems not enough for such a time. There were a few that I loved from this sequence, but this by far the one that stays with me. I believe this wedding was in 2005. There is some work I keep from 2005, simply to show my growth as a photographer, but I keep this one to remind me to work that hard always. To work like I have to catch it a roll of film, rather then limitless attempts with a digital camera.  I can remember how inspired I was that day and how I was able to pick out some moments that are simply timeless. Digital cameras, unlimited frames, 7 extra years of experience and I can still honestly tell you it is in my heart, the rest is just technology and age...
