幾鬼秘的部落格

Last Saturday I attended G+C’s wedding, as one of the groomsmen and photographers.  I can’t remember the last time that I attended a wedding without taking on at least one of these roles, if not both.  This was probably one of the easiest wedding days that I’d photographed.  The day started relatively late, just before 9am.  And I carried only one camera with me.  As tiring as it is, I’d still much prefer participating in this capacity, than being just a regular guest.  No offense to the newly-weds, but when you’ve been to many weddings, as a guest, sitting through the 1+ hour ceremonies can be a little… dare I say… boring :)  And what about the hours that you have to kill between the ceremony and the banquet?

One important advantage of being a photographer while also being a 戥穿石 is of course being able to escape many of the silly tests that the groomsmen are forced to endure :)  My 竹升-ness also helps me excuse myself from at least a few of these tests.

Weddings can feel like reunions sometimes, and that is especially true this time.  I met up with many ex-coworkers whom I haven’t seen in years.  And from time to time, in this small world, you discover that the newly-weds and you actually have some mutual friends that you didn’t know you had!

After the wedding, I discovered that out of the few gigs of photos that I took that day, I could find myself in only one of them.  I’m sure that I do appear in other photos taken by the other photographers.  But until I get those pics, here’s the one precious photo of me…

Looking forward to L+J’s next month…
