The past few weeks have been a bit hectic on the personal side. WE are trying to relocate the family to the United States, and there I plan to go more or less full time with photography as a business. I will need to be more available to it to do so. These past few weeks have involved re-working the home education process for the kids, then reworking it again. But all told, in the end, that has been coming along just fine.
I have had the chance to go shoot some photos at Stonehenge for the summer solstice in June. That was a lot of fun! There was essentially a Rave in the actual henge, and though I am not really that fond of so many people charging over the ancient Neolithic rocks, it was good to see them up close and to have a chance to wonder if the ancient ceremonies were more solemn or less than that. I would imagine MORE!
On the 8th of July I shot pictures of my wife’s cousin for her Prom. We expected to go over to find my mother-in-law and her sister primping Sharina up, but as it turns out, there were loads of people there, and the crowd was more like a small wedding than what we expected! It took a little while to get in the groove of it, and I think I never really got my game on! Still, we ended up with a few really great photos, and I think Sharina’s mom will be more than pleased.
The next planned event is actually in September. We are invited to a wedding, and I am shooting for the couple. I am afraid for privacy I will be revealing no more than general info, but I am really excited about it and really look forward to getting some great photos of the bride and groom! I am just sussing out how to gather any last bits of gear I will need to make the wedding photos more, and to give them that little bit of zing! It promises to be a great occasion. If the camera holds its end of the bargain the way it did for Sharina’s Prom, then I am sure I will end up with some really awesome photos!
