I just love film....
I know it is not instant gratification....
that is part of what I love,
the anticipation.
I also love the somewhat predictable nature of
certain films...
A high speed B/W film will be grainy...
this can be used to reflect a mood.
The photo above for example,
if it was shot in color,
you might be inclined
to concentrate on the dress,
her hair,
the veil,
her gloves,
you get the picture
(no pun intended)
But in B/W, or sepia,
one tends to look at her face,
what is she thinking?
Is she scared,
nervous,
intense,
of simply
quiet by nature?
The good news is
that she was
simply quiet,
from a family of three girls,
she was the youngest,
and accustomed to allowing everyone around her
to be the "whirling dervish".
She was calm as a cucumber,
very much in love with the groom.
It was a splendid wedding,
easy to cover,
easy clients to please,
and
the second daughter
I had the privilege to
photograph on her wedding day.
I know that I probably
could have gotten the same look with digital,
I guess I am a bit
nostalgic,
even though,
digital is admittedly easier.
What do you remember the most about your wedding?
