Sunday – Rest Day

Not much rest this last weekend. It was a beautiful funeral and birthday party for Liza yesterday. The gathering of family and friends at the church and my mother’s house to celebrate her life was reflection on Liza and her love of life. She would have loved the party! So much food! So many people from her work and both sides of her family visiting and eating. It was her kind of scene. Only a few substitutions made the celebration different. Instead of dancing, there was a quite time for prayer and remembrance. We hope Liza approved of the arrangements.

Friends and Family

Not dog tired yet, but we will rest and recharge. Towards the end of the day, I was getting too lazy to change to big glass even when there was a bald eagle flying right over head in a perfectly clear sky! But I still tried before regretting it.

That will be an upcoming post for sure – missed photos.

I have more shoot planned in the next couple of weeks. There will be some portraits, action portraits, some shows, and we will get back to dancing at the Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles next month. On the Facebook pages and announcements, the studios are gearing up for the event, and planning the themes for the Potomac Cup team match! I’m sure there will also be some unexpected surprises along the way. This was definitely one from yesterday:

Liza

Today many are saying goodbye to a great friend. Liza lived life to the fullest. This is a cliche for most, but it is quite appropriate in this case. If she had a plan for her life, it was to work as hard in order to make time for the what she really wanted to do. She loved to cook, and she shared this passion with all of her friends when she had the chance. She opened her house for them to to gather and eat, or she would bring food with her to parties all around town. I remember her instructing my mom on what tools and utensils she would need to buy to properly serve guests certain dishes.

Liza loved to sing! If there was a karaoke machine turned on, she could sing her heart out whether or not there was an audience of 5 or 50. Her love of music brought her to many concerts, and her enthusiasm for the artists would guarantee that she would not be attending alone. Liza would have tickets for her friends to join her in the festivities.

Her enthusiasm and strength carried on to her fight against ovarian cancer. Liza announced when she was out to “get her cocktails” and never posted a discouraging post on Facebook. My condolences go out to her husband, daughter, her brothers, sister, and her mom. We will get together today to say goodbye, and hope that when it is our time, we will be as strong, and surrounded by friends and family.

June Saturdays

It’s just that time of year. For wedding photographers especially, their Saturdays are full in the middle of their busy season! There is nothing like have a wedding in June. I have photographed and assisted in photographing several weddings in the DC Area. At this time, the city landmarks will be dotted with brides and grooms. While they are out a photographer is directing them to pose, and look. The photographer is attempting to make some nice photos while trying to minimize the tourists in the background. Given that this is such a photogenic city they have made a great choice of location!

Wedding Photography

It is nice to be part of their big day, and a responsibility that I took for granted before being the person behind the camera. These are the photos that are looked at by multiple generations. In that case, these photos are the first family heirloom. Additionally, these are the items that are sought after when natural disasters take other material possessions. They will survive long after the flowers and cake. These thoughts keep me sharp throughout the day, and humble me every time someone asks me to photograph their wedding.
