Here comes the bride

Meet Louise, the bride, I have to say that the picture just does not do her justice, there was a glow about her that I think would be impossible to capture in a photograph. Another reason I don’t do wedding photos, sometimes there’s more to a photo than you can contain in a frame. Louise smiled, from the moment she climbed out of the car to my last sight of her as we left the party, she smiled, not the pasted on look you see on some brides, but the smile of true happiness. The only time she was not smiling was when she was laughing; she just drifted through the day in a glowing bubble of joy. You just cannot capture that with a camera, the pictures are just a aid to the memory of a wonderful day.

Nice. Sometimes brides are so fake. If I ever get married (note the definite IF) I don't want to act false. Good on her, send her my best wishes!
Ciao

Wow - what a wonderful photo! You have captured the essence of her completely! But, as you say, a photo can only capture so much - but this one says so much too!

Perfect song for the image.She really is as brides are supposed to be glowing, and so feminime Fantastic natural portrait. I point blank refuse to do weddings, but I'm thinking of relenting. It would have to me my way, as natuaral as can be, genuine smiles, and those little moments aside that only photographers see. Gary Painted his first ever wedding portrait this week. Not really our thing,but the bride gets to say it'paitned by the BBC Political cartoonist and we get to slap and extra £100 for the name. Think I could blag an extra £50 for being his partner and doing wedding pics.! Er no.

As a newlywed, I appreciate your comments about a bride -- I didn't stop smiling from the moment I woke up that day... Funny, now, it's 9 months later and it's not always all smiles -- I'm blogging about it... may you'd find it quite amusing -- Love your photos :)

wow, you take very beautiful pictures. the one of the bride and groom looking out form the church. is just amazing. now, i know anyone could have takena a picture like that, but not everyone would choose that one to point out or show, its so .. nice. the way the light comes in, and the way it dances, and how it goes down her back. just beautiful! i love it. if only i could have had you at MY wedding, maybe i would have been able to see it the way you see things. very good. and keep it up thanks for having the eye.

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s
