2 is 1 - Save the Petals!
Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 1 July 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Hello! Thanks again to all of you - the "inspiration circle" - for your encouraging comments. There were a couple of constructive critiques as well that I will take into consideration as I build up my portfolio (see story here as to why I'm doing it).
This is the 7th installment of the "Two Shall Become One" series. This set is dedicated to a pro p-blogger friend - whom I have known for years - as these last few images were taken during her wedding (read story here).
This scene was captured rather unexpectedly. As the ceremony began, the little "rushing" flower girl may have begun to realize that those little petals on the ground might be stomped upon, and thought, "Oh, that's not a very nice thing to do to them." So, she decided to run back out to the aisles and save them [and brought the calvary along]!!! lol. I'm sure this happens quite a lot in weddings, but I thought the spontaneity of the moment was priceless, after all, that is what photography is all about isn't it?
That's what photography is to me: it's about capturing the moment - not so much the composition, the gear, the post processing, or whether it was a "bad" picture or a "good" picture [all of which are important but they are somewhat relative and subjective] - but the instant of time that was captured to be cherished many times over and shared, that to me is the most important. And now with the advent of photoblogs like AM3, we can share them with people around the world . (Thanks Jason and Aaron for building up a foundation for "inspiration circles"! It is appreciated) B-)
Next post - new couple!
Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend! B-) I will "see" you soon in your p-blogs. Cheers...
