Ben's wedding
Nov 18, 2001
i shot my very first wedding yesterday.
ben
and
ani finally tied the
knot! woohoo. it still blows my mind. just like when i look back at
people that i graduated highschool with and they've got their degrees
already and have a down payment on a house, etc. babies are not things
that i plan on making any time soon. my parents got together a little
later on in life, and i probably will too. who knows? que sera sera.
the wedding was really pretty. it was held at the zilker botanical gardens (in the oriental section). i shot around 5 rolls of b&w film through the pentax and 1 roll of medium format b&w through the yashica. when they exchanged vows the heavily-makeupped judge asked ben, "will you take this woman to be your wife, etc etc", to which he responded, "yup!", "sure". she phrased the sentence so that couldn't be answered by an "i do". it was cute. little baby cute.
that was the second wedding that i've ever been to. i really dug the casualness and intimacy of it. mine will be like that.
food poisoning. i think i have food poisoning. at the reception i ate this delicious salmon ravioli from the east side cafe. i think it may not have agreed with me. if i sit still i feel alright, but every time i move around my stomach hurts. not good.
i'm super-excited about getting the photos back from holland phoho. this was the first time that i shot ISO400 Ilford HP5 plus. i should be scanning some of the better ones for y'all. they are set to be printed by wednesday.
i have a fever too. whatever is wrong with me is impeding my ability to compose words, so forgive the scattered-ness of this post. i want to peel open my skull and launder my brain with cool spring water. it feels as if it's bathing in molasses now.
