Long Weekend

Hey, sorry for not posting over the weekend. I think you'll understand when I tell you that it was mine and Krista's 13th anniversary last Friday. I just can not believe we have been together that long. Man, we got married young! I love her more every single day. I cooked us nice dinner on Friday (Yes folks I'm actually a very good cook too!) We had a couple bottles of wine and just spent the evening together. Our anniversery present to one another was to hit the Allen Events Center last night to see two legends, no maybe gods, of music: B.B. King and Buddy Guy. We both loves the blues, and the show was great. Buddy is 75, and B.B. will be 85 in a few weeks, but man they can still belt it out, just amazing.

She is out of town this week. Dropped her off at DFW International this morning, and I miss her already. But we have a great Labor Day weekend camping trip planned for the Palo Duro Canyon. It has been a very long time since I went camping, and this is going to be lots of fun. I'll be taking some new toys with me. I have an old Polaroid SX-70 and some film from The Impossible Project  since Polaroid doesn't make film anymore. I also have a Holga I'll be using.

So what does this have to do with wedding photography you are wondering? Two things: first I intend on using both of these cameras from now on at all engagement, bridal, and wedding shoots. So, just don't be embarrassed when your photographer uses a Polaroid! Really the unique and artistic feel of these two cameras are just amazing. Second, I have fallen in love with Palo Duro from the images I have seen. So I have an open request to all brides to be. I really want to do some amazing bridal portraits out there. You will need to be up to hiking with a wedding dress (You don't have to wear it while hiking, and it doesn't have to be your actual wedding gown!) for several miles with a crazy photographer to get some pictures like no one else! So if you are up for it send me an email. I'm serious here, email me let's talk.
