and of course there is a story behind this shot.  My client’s custom made wedding dress didn’t get photographed at her wedding by her photographer (not me!)  She asked if she could bring it to her session.  I’ve been asked to include pets, relatives, even stuffed animals.  This is the first wedding dress portrait session for me! :)

This was photographed in the dressing room of my studio.

#1 is I limit the number of commissions I accept for weddings and portraits.

#2 is I go out with a local photo club and “shoot” photo safaris.  I’ve recently added a third one but I’m going to keep that one personal for now – you’ll just have to check back! :)

In any case, last night was a photo safari night for our club and we decided to work on the 26 things project.  There was little chance of completing the entire list in the hour we had so I worked on refining my vision and really trying to be selective about the number of images I captured.  The 26 things list included “LINES” and “AT NIGHT”; I still can’t decide which ones are my favorites.  Please help?  Here are some lines and at night images – vote for your favorites in the comments!
