Day 152: Milan and Sarah's Wedding

Today was Milan and Sarah's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and I ended up getting to assist and take pictures during the ceremony. I think some of them turned out well, but I am not going to post any of those right now. Many of them will probably end up on Facebook in a few weeks. Today I decided to just post a photo of some of their decorations. These fabric triangles were hung around the reception hall, the sides of the chairs during the ceremony, and through the trees (where these ones were) behind the ceremony. Their grandmother is going to then quilt them a blanket out of this fabric. That quilt is going to mean a lot.

Day 151: Wedding Centerpieces

Saturday evening was Nick and Sarah's wedding rehearsal. While they were practicing a group of us helped with the centerpieces. The sunflowers were beautiful.

"Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident, others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock." -Henry Ward Beecher

Day 150: Surrounded by Weeds

Yes, this is a toilet surrounded by weeds. On a walk this evening I found this and thought it was photo worthy, they are probably remodeling. 

"Trash has given us an appetite for art." -Pauline Kael

Day 149: Shadows

I thought I'd play with shadows this evening again. The streetlight nearby and moon made some great light to work with.

"False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine but leaving us when we cross into the shade." -Christian Nevel Bovee

Day 148: Portrait of Kristen

It was Kristen's band banquet so I decided to stop and get a few pictures of her before I dropped her off at for the banquet. This one doesn't have her awesome hot pink shoes that matched the belt.

"Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available." -Jim Beggs

Day 147: Ceiling Fan

A little motion.

"Never mistake motion for action." -Ernest Hemingway

Day 146: Graduation Party

Sara Jo! Sara Jo showed up at Ashley's graduation party which was a nice surprise. Taking a picture of someone taking a picture, pretty classic.

"To the complaint, 'There are no people in these phtographs,' I respond, 'There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.'" -Ansel Adams
