Speak now or forever hold your peace….
I love that moment in a wedding, the collective breath
holding, the collective sigh of relief as the moment passes in silence punctuated
by a few nervous laughs and great puffs of exhaled breath.
On Saturday passed, I had a wedding gig at Daan Viljoen
Reservoir/Park about 20kms west of Windhoek. Fortunately it was on the low side
of sweltering for this late afternoon wedding. A great time was had by
all. I still find photographing the
process a blast, I think of it as stream of consciousness portraiture. The day
requires intense concentration for 8 to 10 hours or more. Never knowing when circumstances will serve up
a classic image. At the end, when the bouquet has flown I am always exhausted. The next day when I begin to plow through the
images I see the payoff from the attention spent.
To have such a pivotal role in creating the record of the
day, images that will serve as memory triggers down through time is really a privilege.
Thank you Ryno and Malinda!
