General Wedding Chit Chat Thread... (Part 3)

ahhh Jim, I love shots like that.

Interesting morning here, they just released the text messages and emails of a state rep in trouble it's amazing, the sad thing is, the woman he was "with" totally turned on him when she could not get her way. I think some of these guys have to be so totally stupid or just driven to brain malfunction to not see through some of this. He was a busy man, with another woman and MAN stepping up to the confession plate now.

One nice thing about it all, this gets my friend off the front pages for a while.

I like the shot, Jim!

If anyone is interested, I put some photos from Saturday's wedding up in my blog. I can't decide which, if any I want to post on the boards yet LOL

Kirstin,

I just visited your blog...great wedding shots! I love how you managed to keep the couple well exposed and the skies so blue at the same time...how did you do this? I am doing a beach wedding in October (Destin, FL) for my cousin's daughter and it will be my first beach event...needless to say I am very nervous about getting the exposures right. You did a wonderful job! Please share your techniques. Thanks,

Jim, nice shot. I will be home to get your envelope when it comes. I'm very tired this morning. Didn't sleep well. But I'm printing another set of 5x7 of the wedding today.

Kristin,

wow, nice shots. I love the areas you have to shoot in and of course, I'll always love your fish shots

Going to the gym....see you guys in a few hours

Kristin, beautiful. Colors are amazing on my monitor. Congrats! So sunny that day.

Good morning, all.

Wonderful shots, Kristin! On my monitor, they look wonderful!

Good morning all!

Jim, I love that shot, well done and great crop.

Kristin I went and looked at your blog too and I think you did a wonderful job, the pics are great!

BTW, I have not been around much the last few days, my brother from Canada is here visiting for a short time, so I am spending all my time with him and his wife to be. Just thought I would mention it so you all wouldn't think I was being stuck-up!

Have a great day!

Thanks everyone for the feedback...I will confess that I asked Mom to pose this shot for me She was photographing the B&G and I grabbed the opportunity

It's a great shot. Doesn't look staged at all.

Hi there Lisa - good morning also to Suzy, Jim and Kristin .

I haven't been in this area for a little bit. Things have gone bonkers again, here at work. The great corporate Gods have decided to reduce headcount by another 10% due to the latest merger. Soooooooo........

Rather than convening the standard firing squad, they are sending out letters to the target orgs offering up to one full year severance (equivalent of 1-year salary, if you have been there 20 years) if you leave right now. That's fine if you have the age and years service and were planning on going..... but if you're young and just starting out you can be SOL.

If they don't get the 10% reduction they want, then they will come after us and say: "Hey, we have a new job for you over in......" If we decline, then we are out, with NO severance. The good news is that the "new job" has to be within 50 miles of your house.

Fun times........ certainly does not make for a focused working environment.

Morning all. How are you?

I spent the morning cleaning my kitchen and it doesn't look much better, so I'm not going to be on very much today. Will miss you all.

I'm getting ready to go shoot guns. I'm being taken to the local police range by a tenant/friend who is in the Sheriff's Dept.

This will be fun.
