Congratulations to Amer and Shelly. I was honored to serve as the wedding photographer for this beautiful couple. I appreciate how much love was present from all who attended. May you enjoy many many years of happiness.
"You haven't been out to Saratoga yet? You need to see it before they close it down for the season," said Pauline. One of the reasons I've been behind on updating this series is because I came out to Troy, NY for a contract with Kaleel Jamison Consulting Group. Although I took a couple of cameras with me, all of my developing equipment and chemicals are back home and finding a lab I trust is like trying to find a good barber. The series might continue to be updated in batches, as I'm waiting to have several rolls to develop before sending them off to Panda Lab in Seattle. Until I decide where I'll be on a more permanent basis, they'll be processing both my black and white and commissioned color film.
It's very rare I take a day off from work. But on the second Friday out here, I was told that I should take the Friday off and go to Saratoga with some of the boss' friends and enjoy something I can't experience anywhere else. I'm glad I did. Not only did I have a great time, but it definitely provided some cool photo opportunities. Thanks for the hospitality and treating me like family Geno!
This year I was honored to be invited to participate in a weekend retreat called Community 2022. The purpose of this community is simply to commit to meeting once per year until 2022 and discuss personal and professional growth, global issues, and put action plans in place to improve the next year. One of my favorite aspects of this group was the intergenerational nature of the people involved. There were folks ranging from 14 to 86 in the same room sharing and learning from each other.
