Arrogance, I have it.
Oct. 9th, 2011 11:35 pmToday I looked at my roommate from twenty years ago's wedding photos. I was really appalled. All the pictures are horrible. Now, I'm not critiquing the attractiveness of the participants, there isn't much you can do to make a bride look beautiful if she's not. But I do believe you shouldn't wait for her to look like someone just farted and she can totally smell it and then put your camera on multi-shoot until the card fills up. The pictures of the bride and bridesmaids or bride and family the bride looks happy and joyous. But not standing next to her spouse. It's like foreshadowing in a movie.
Now I'm trying to find something nice to say. Other than, "You gained even more weight in 20 years than I did! You're bloody round!" and "I hope you didn't pay the photographer anything because those pictures are horrid."
I snapped a couple pictures of a bird, one of those fancy kinds, during my walk Friday evening. I was facing the sun, only had my phone with me, and the best picture is still better than any of the 4000 wedding shots I looked at (mostly just in thumbnails) today.
