Well it’s certainly one of the wetest days of the year!
Monday is usually my quiet day but today I’ve been continuing to process the images from Saturday’s wedding. I’ve now uploaded the web gallery, produced the DVD slideshow and created the thumbnail prints ready to send to the lab for printing.
“The negative is the equivalent of the composer’s score, and the print the performance”. – Ansel Adams
Spent most of the day processing the images from Stuart and Karen’s wedding which was at Bryngarw House.
Here are a couple of images from Stuart and Karen’s wedding.
Perishability in a photograph is important in a picture. If a photograph looks perishable we say, “Gee, I’m glad I have that moment”. – John Loengard, “Pictures Under Discussion”
Fortunately the weather was fine and mild today.
I photographed Stuart and Karen’s wedding at Bryngarw House today and went back there this evening for some photographs of the evening party.
I’ve downloaded all the files from the camera and converted the raw files to jpegs.
“There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs”. – Ansel Adams
Most of the day spent finishing the flush mount album design that I’ve been working on this week.
Charged all the batteries in preparation for Stuart and Karen’s wedding at Bryngarw House that I’m photographing tomorrow, I hope the weather is drier than today!
My youngest son David telephoned to say his car had packed in on Penarth Road in Cardiff. A trip to Cardiff to get him going again – it had run out of petrol, he didn’t have his spare can in the boot!
“The camera can photograph thought”. – Dirk Bogarde
Continued with the design of the flush mount album, it’s now very close to completion. The majority of the images have been added and pages designed.
Another delivery of Jorgensen albums today, I have one order outstanding due to slow customs clearance but that will be here next week.
Evening shopping at Tesco.
“A good snapshot stops a moment from running away”. – Eudora Welty
Continued working on an album design today, it’s getting very close to completion.
Welsh class (Dosbarth Nos) this evening, no class next week as it’s half term (already!) but a little homework to complete instead.
“Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art”. – Ambrose Bierce
The day has been spent mainly working on album designs, apart from a brief period spent helping my youngest son David, change the spark plugs on his car.
“When you photograph people in color, you are photographing their clothes. When you photograph them in B&W, you photograph their souls”. –Ted Grant, a famous Canadian photographer as taken from the Sept 2002 Photographer’s Forum magazine.
A fairly relaxed day. Another trip to the bank to pay in cheques.
Wasted more time trying to make some open source client management software work!
Met with Neil and Michelle, gave them the DVD slideshow of their wedding, they love the images.
“Now very often events are set up for photographers … The weddings are orchestrated about the photographers taking the picture, because if it hasn’t been photographed it doesn’t really exist.” – Eliott Erwitt, in an interview
Lunch at the Hollybush once more today! Julie (my Welsh tutor), her mum and aunt were also there. They were serving home-made apple pie and custard, it was delicious.
Upgraded the PHP version on my local Apache server, not very exciting!
Neil and Michelle have arranged to come and see me tomorrow evening to talk about the photographs for their wedding album.
“Pictures hold life’s experiences. And I feel that with every experience you learn something. Therefore, you learn something with every picture you take.” –Anonymous
It’s a warm sunny day today.
I’ve changed the oil, oil filter and air filter on the second BMW, the 525i. They are super easy cars to service, you don’t need to jack the car up to change the oil and the filters are easily accessible, no adjustments needed on the engine as its all handled by the Bosch Motronic engine management system. All car maintenance is now up to date.
