Shadows....

This is how memories work for me....

they look like shadows...

they are never detailed and clear.

Sometimes my memories can be triggered by

smell, 

or a song,

or a child's squeal,

or a breeze....

But mostly my memories

 are like a vague shadow that has 

highlights all over it....

that is how

I remember this wedding.

The lights were a photographer's 

nightmare.

DARK!

It was great for ambiance,

but absolutely 

horrendous for 

capturing images.

Especially as this was a time

 when I was still using film.

Even high-speed film

struggles with low light situations.

Well,

I captured many moments

 that were much better than this one, 

but I like this one,

because of the way the 

overhead light bounces off her dress...

and veil...

and his close cropped hair...

splendid memories.

What do your memories look like?

Are they mostly shadows like mine?

Or, are they refined bits of crystal clarity?

Tell me, please.....smiles.
