Me in the Mirror with some light stuff Happening

How's that for a title!

NYC

I am currently sitting in a random office in NYC. For the past week I've been assisting Cary Norton on a shoot, and I'll be here until next Thursday. Today, has been a particularly lovely day, being that Laura is flying in today. She just has the ability to make my day infinitely better just by thinking of her. Fact.

On top of that, we're staying with the great Brian and Brooke Murphy. Wonderful people, and a wonderful place. This morning I woke up around 4:45 to see this image rising with the sun.

Keeping with the iPhone theme, I was able to go hear the curator of TED, Chris Anderson, give a small talk at . (I recorded the audio, and will post it when I get some downtime.) Here's a shot of us looking like we're best buddies who are going after the same girl, but we don't want the other to know:

It's been great hanging out in the city, but I will be very ready to return home come Thursday.

Soon after I return to Birmingham, Laura and I will be heading down to the beach with many dear friends to have a proper vacation. Then, it's back to wedding season with a bang! (2 in 1 weekend, both on location....crazy fun)

There's a big update for you guys. Lots of things to think through. I expect a 2 page paper on my desk in the morning.

Photo Wall

So, I've been looking for a different way to do a Portrait Studio / Photobooth for a while, and thanks to the inspiration from Ruffled Blog, this totally happened on Friday.

Thank you Morgan Johnston for snapping the process photos! Thank you Duquette Johnston for you carpentry know-how! Thank you Laura for helping with the entire process!

Can't wait to use this in my next wedding!

A Music

by Wendell Berry

I employ the blind mandolin player

in the the tunnel of the Metro. I pay him

a coin as hard as his notes,

and maybe he has employed me, and pays me

with his playing to hear him play.

Maybe we're necessary to each other,

and this vacant place has need of us both

--it's vacant, I mean, of dwellers,

is populated by passages and absences.

By some fate or knack he has chosen

to place his music in this cavity

where there's nothing to look at

and blindness costs him nothing.

Nothing was here before he came.

His music goes out among the sounds

of footsteps passing. The tunnel is the resonance

and meaning of what he plays.

It's his music, not the place, I go by.

In this light which is just a fact, like darkness

or the edge or end of what you may be

going toward, he turns his cap up on his knees

and leaves it there to ask and wait, and holds up

his mandolin, the lantern of his world;

his fingers make their pattern on the wires.

This is not the pursuing of rhythm

of a blind cane pecking in the sun,

but is a singing in a dark place.
