We spent an overcast day talking and walking with my brother Adam, including this stop off inside a crowded dog park -- you can maybe detect the bright sandy ground giving his complexion a bit of glow amid otherwise gray scene.

Who'd have guessed that the Natural History Museum would let you take pictures in nearly every exhibit? This was also a highlight of our trip.

happy happenstance

Just back from three wonderful celebratory days in New York City, and the wedding of dear Heather and Victor on their 10th Anniversary of their first date together. It was the most special event I've attended since, oh, about 6 or 7 years ago! Fantastic days.

The whole event was actually crawling with photographers because their professional photographer actually had two assistants in tow, and when he learned that I was a budding amateur, he welcomed me to keep my camera out of the bag and snap all I liked. It was great. I was gleaning tips from the other guys, comparing settings and generally watching their actions.

This shot seemed an appropriate one to share: because there were actually four of us with serious gear taking pictures, this was a happy coincidence where two flashes and two cameras enjoyed a symbiotic synchronization.

Yes, they make a beautiful couple!
