images of the year: people in love
2010 marks a landmark year of challenges and rewards for me. I shot 18 awesome weddings. Along the way, I have met wonderful people who have shared incredible memories. I laughed and cried. I learned how frail the human heart can be. I am reminded of the blessings which allowed me to photograph people in love, from documenting nuances of Jewish wedding traditions to colorful festivities of a wedding at Burning Man.
I thank my family, friends, and clients for their encouragement and humor. For that, I look back at 2010 with one word: “Epic.”
Visually as I stand back, I am reminded of my contradictory quirks:
+ As much as I relish black, I thrive on bold color.
+ As much as I dig posing, my instinct hunts to capture real moments.
+ For every image shot at f/1.4 handheld, I’ve shot an image at f/16 with a tripod.
+ For every image I’ve shot during “the golden hour,” I’ve shot an image in pitch black.
+ I play with film, but still can’t do without digital.
+ As much as I stick with the rules, I still love to run (metaphorically) with scissors.
The process of selecting my favorite images of the year reminds me of the importance of timeless romanticism. Above all, I want my clients to feel and look beautiful. Here’s to 2010 (in no particular order):
