(Taken by the Groom's father...9/1/2007)

Emailed to me, with this note:

"Here is a picture you may like, this is to make sure that the photographer meet and greets every one with a smile and that the pictures are well focused

Thank you for taking the pictures at my son's wedding."

HA! That's great! Shaing the good time with them huh?

Nice, I'm doing my first wedding in a couple weeks. I'll definitely need to unwind with some spirits afterward!! I like that combat load bearing thing you've got there, mind sharing?

No way in hell. I paid good money for that thing!


It's a Newswear Chestvest. $90 at Adorama. Holds everything...my 70-200IS was even in the one front pocket. Got it after seeing Jamie's (jamisonwexler on here).

is that lil feller you?

Yeah that's me. I'm a short ****. Jamie and I looked like Mutt & Jeff shooting together in Lewisburg. He's something like 6'3 and I'm 5'1 on a good day.

That's awesome!

I sh*t you not I always had the assumption you were like 5-9

You look like a soldier.

i totally thought you were wearing hip waders. "wow.. now there's a photographer prepared for anything.... "

Apparently the US security services call those chest vests 'Jihad Vests'

Chestvesters of the world unite!

I'll bet you could stow that bottle in the vest for refreshment throughout the day! Did you tie your camera straps to each side of the CV strap?

Weddings are war.

Nah the hip waders stay in the van on standby.

Yeah I got comments like that from numerous guests. It's funny how all 20 think they're being original.

Hah I love that vest. And yes I looped the camera through the OEM strap around the shoulder just above the plastic loop on the CV. It's ok for small lenses like the Sigma 12-24 but not such a bright idea for the 70-200...creates too much weight and the CV strap either slides off, or the knot digs into the shoulder...depending how you're positioned. I decided to go with the POTN straps and sling 'em over each shoulder so I can drop one at a moment's notice.

hahahaha hipwaders!!! a spot of fishing whilst shooting the odd wedding.
