Wedding # 5
Monday, June 1, 2009 at 7:59PM I've just finished editing Garret and Breanne's wedding - this one took a lot longer than I thought, for several reasons. First, it was an overcast day, which required more color tweaking than I thought it would. Second, I moved the day after the wedding, and spent the last month adjusting to life here.
Regardless, it's done now, and there's some great shots. I've also learned my lesson about double-booking my time ;)
Other than that, life is good. I took a spontaneous trip up to Prince George last week, and I might put a couple shots from that trip up here. Life in the DTES continues as 'normal' - last night my entire block was taped off by the police because of a guy threatening to jump off a building down the street. Thankfully they managed to get him down safe and sound, but it really brought home to me just how desperate some people are down here. Depression and mental illness is such a terrifying spectre at the best of times - now imagine facing that without the safety net of friends and family. Add abuse into the mix, and you have a deadly concoction. It is little wonder that people turn to addiction and suicide to escape the pain that they are in. Fortunately in this case the man was able to be helped... I just hope that I can help make a difference in someone's life, and let them know that they are loved.

nice shot. those flowers look great. post some stuff from prince george, i've never been there
Thanks!
I didn't take any shots of Prince George, just a few portraits and a couple scenery shots on the way back. One of the portraits is in the 'People' gallery already, and I might do a post with a couple more... I'll think about it.
