Pity the artsy movement wasn't happening when the Husband and I were married. That bastard photographer actually had he and his dad (best man) pose looking anxiously at their watches. Snarl.<br /> <br /> Michele - Oh, nooess. The 100 was even stretching it a bit, I think. But thanks for the flatte...er, compliment. :) Robb – Those are nice.

I am constantly in awe of, and inspired by, your pictures. I would have picked WAY more than 100. I am constantly in awe of, and inspired by, your pictures.

Otherwise, welcome to "Snapshot Hell".<br /> <br /> Weddings are... different. It's about seeing things happen before they happen.

Couldn't pay me to do wedding shots, though I've seen some very artsy stuff getting popular lately. Flatterer.

Of course, with digital, it's a little different. I *know* when I miss a shot and delete it without looking.<br /> <br /> However, when it comes time to sort them in Lightroom, I'd say out of 1000 pictures I only toss 10 to 20, and most of those tend to be duplicates. Of course, when doing the portraits, I'll take 7 of the same pose from various focal lengths so that adds to the numbers.<br /> <br /> I actually have had to mentally restrain myself from taking so many pictures. Yeah, it's nice to hand off 1800 pictures to a bride (from me and my asst), but the bride gets overwhelmed.<br /> <br /> I've been remiss about complimenting you on your work. Most of them I assumed you simply scanned out of National Geographic they are so good.<br /> <br /> Funny, I'm terrible with landscapes and birds, but fantastic with people. Just my style I guess.
