Sometimes I enjoy a grainy picture. Sometimes. I am quite obsessed with sharpness…and getting photos to have that crispness as often as possible…Of course the beautiful imagery of sharpness and colors and all that great stuff is amazing. But SOMEtimes….I like it when pictures have some edge to them…some ugliness that can be quite artistic and beautiful in it’s own way. (not to say that edginess or graininess is ugly, but I’d say a majority of people tend to associate those together) And yes…I do love polaroids. So, I decided to have a little fun with a self portrait and just “mess up” a picture and make it grainy. I need to get my film camera back out.
Still working on Gabriel and Jimena’s wedding photos…I can’t wait to show ya’ll!
One of my favorite moments is after the wedding is all done, and the photos are all taken…I get home that same night…I pull out the CF cards and upload them to my computer. It’s as if there is a drum roll in my head as I preview the first few favorite photos. Sometimes even if I feel like I’m about to pass out from exhaustion, my energy comes right back as I preview the photos. I even get tempted to just start editing right then and there. Sometimes. I do.
SOMEtimes.
Other times, I just pass out from exhaustion (good, happy, accomplished exhaustion of course!)
Call me crazy, but I love what I do. It’s hard to consider it a job when I enjoy it so much. I’m truly blessed. God really does keep doing amazing things.
Every couple has a special place in my heart. I experience wonderful, intimate, joyous moments that even MY heart goes aflutter every time I replay the them in my mind. I remember the moments so well because…well… I captured them… and framed them seconds before they happened. In anticipation. Always.
