Well that's good to hear. Kestra I remember seeing your wedding photos, they were fantastic. :) I suppose I'll offer up another example of her idiocy.

At one point, after two hours of photos at the bride's aunt's house (she has a very pretty backyard with a big garden, multi-level pond, etc.) we went to the place where the wedding was being held, a golf course that also does weddings. The photographer went off with the bride and groom for photos and the rest of us sat around. A half-hour into it, I was very bored and still needed to setup the audio and video we were going to use (I was best man/free video and audio guy, haha). So a friend and I go to setup the wireless microphones, belt packs, cameras, etc. That "funeral pyre" they were under proved awesome for hiding wireless microphones in and they ended up sounding great.

Anyway, another half-hour later, one of the groomsman comes up and goes, "where were you?" I tell him I've just been setting up the video and audio and he goes, "well we just took a couple photos with the party, you weren't there!" The photographer didn't bother to notice the best man of the wedding was missing and didn't bother to send anyone to get me. It's not as if I had ran off; I was outside at the actual wedding ceremony site, right outside the reception hall. She later finds me and tries to chide me and I gave her a few sly, snippy replies to shut her up. It's not my job to read her mind when she wants a photo. I would think she would, after having already taken two hours of photos, known there should be a bride, groom, five bridesmaids, five groomsmen, a best man and a maid of honor. But it was my fault for not sitting on my ass for longer waiting for her, instead of doing something useful. Ugh.

The pictures better be good.
 
looka what I found!

Playmates 1992 Enterprise D!
I got this when I was in third grade and brought it to school a few times
some kid asked me "why'd you bring star trek to school?"
I proceeded to remind him that Star Trek was the name of the show, the ship was called Enterprise!

collector's note: it's missing all the decals, but surprisingly still has both nacelles which detach quite easily

Mine's stil lgot all the stickers. In fact, I got some light blue paint and filled in all the windows. I tried to use pictures of the ship from the show to map out where the black windows where, and used black paint on those, so it looked like they wre on/off. I also used paint on a few other places, like red/green dot lights.
 
Thank you, I appreciate that. :) You looked fantastic yourself! Congrats to your brother as well!

Speaking of weddings and photography, is it just me or are wedding photographers supposed to be obnoxious jackasses? The one at this past wedding was unbearable, even the bride and groom were getting annoyed. The real kicker was when I was walking down the aisle. The priest had laid rocks in the grass as place markers for where we were supposed to stand. I lead the maid of honor to her spot, go to mine and the photographer was kneeling right in my spot. Mind you this was already after many of us had become annoyed with her. I go to stand in my position and she says, "hey, move over for a minute, I need some room." I silently, and firmly, told her no and moved into my spot, blocking her lens. I don't do wedding photography or anything but last I checked you never interfere with the wedding party itself during the ceremony. That just seemed ridiculous to me.

Thank you! :)

From what you tell, it really seems as if your photographer was unprofessional. There's more to being an official photographer than just making the pictures look snappy, it's also about the organisation. Yours apparently lacked that skill, sorry to hear that.

My brother hired a close friend of his who then was photographer/guest. He was fantastic. Invisible during the actual ceremony, funny and friendly during the official shoot. He made us feel quite comfortable which can only be good for how well the pictures turned out. We'll see.
 
My brother got married. Here's a picture of the closest family. I'm the one next to the groom.

Nice pic.

I really like the bride's hair, by the way - from the pic, it seems some of the hair is done in a circlet which echoes her necklace. Nifty touch!



OK, a rare shot of me. Actually I just posted it in the abroad thread as a American clothes quiz for you to take, but I'll repost it here too. Yes, one of my customary "taken in front of a desk" pics, but at least I'm smiling for a change...

How the hell do you do it?

When Holdy said that we were getting a "rare shot" of him, I was expecting to see a sequel to the shorts and t-shirt picture that has only appeared once in my time here. :p
 
I was expecting gold chains with dollar signs and a sleeveless shirt that says "The Doctor in the Hizzouse."

I'm in D.C. for a job interview and checked out the Museums at the Mall... searched all over for the Enterprise in the Air and Space Museum. They moved to the the bottom level store.

I present to you, the U.S.S. Enterprise (now with lens-flare):
