I was in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, last spring, helping my Yale roommate Jon hang his first photography show. It was a great success. Over 100 people came to the opening!
Jon lives next door to Debbie, sister of our other roommate David. I expressed an interest in going over to Debbie's house to take pictures because 45 years ago I had taken photos of the house and the land when it belonged to Debbie's and David's mother. Those images, taken in winter, were published in the Yale Literary Magazine. Debbie was very gracious and let me take pictures inside her house.
Seeing the photographs of the interior of her house, Debbie asked me to photograph her daughter's Melisse's wedding. I am not a wedding photographer. I can count the number of weddings I have photographed with one hand. We agreed to photograph the wedding with the stipulation that I would do it my way, in a photojournalistic fashion rather than the formulaic wedding-photographer fashion. On the day of the wedding, October 2, 2010, I took over 600 pictures and they were well received. Don't worry, the slide show on my web site is a severely edited down version of the total!
