Giving thanks...

When in doubt, 

Ellen,

 show up early. 

Think less. 

Feel more. 

Ask once. 

Give thanks often. 

Expect the best. 

Appreciate everything. 

Never give up. 

Make it fun. 

Lead. 

Invent. 

Regroup. 

Wink. 

Chill. 

Smile. 

And 

live as if

 your success

 was inevitable, 

and so it shall be.

Happy global domination,
.............

The Universe

(many thanks for having faith in me....smiles)

love.....

When in Italy....

take the opportunity to shoot brides

wherever possible...

This couple was being photographed 

(very adequately, I must say)

and I was on vacation.

But that dress caught my eye!

Look at the weight of the fabric! 

Look at the detail!

They were in the right spot,

and so was I!

I couldn't resist.

So happy,

so pleased with the day,

so ready for the future...

I think this may be one of the reasons that 

I adore weddings.

So much promise, hope and joy! 

Of course there are exceptions,

but for the most part I have 

had the privilege to shoot 

many weddings just as 

happy and special as the one above.

Rarely 

in

such

a 

wonderful

locale

though....
