Quick Photographic Quickies
Am leaving in less than a day, back to my normal life. Before I leave, I share some quickies with you.
I came to Puerto Rico to photograph my friend Laurie's wedding on Saturday. Laurie married Andy, who also went to high school with us, but they didn't hook up til 3-4 years after graduation. Nobody quite saw that one coming, so I gotta give it to them for the surprise factor. Good job, guys.
The wedding was fantabulous, everybody had fun, I met up with old classmates, cried towards the end, ate empanadillitas and just... I dunno, it was just all so wonderful. They are both so happy, it's ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is how GOOOOOORGEOUS Laurie looked. Like.. for reals, it must be illegal to be that beautiful.
These are Laura O(x), Laurie, Me (with sexy disheveled hair) and Mariela. We all live at least 500 miles apart from each other, Boston, Philly, Puerto Rico and Vegas (soon to be Portland). These girls own little parts of my heart and it hurts that I can't see them every day, that we are so far away, walking through paths that we just don't know when or where they might converge again. But I am glad they are in my life, as all the rest of my friends who I've known since kindergarten, since middle school, since our pointless biology class in 10th grade, since SCAD, since Vegas. Such is life, though.
I went to the beach today with my little (16 years old) cousin and mami. Combate is like Ghetto Capital of the World. I came to Puerto Rico for the cute surfer guys I grew up drooling for. Yeah, didn't see them. Highly disappointed. Did find this funky old school bus slash greasy food eatery on the way to Combate. Crazy little joint.
Allrighty then, off to Vegas, I go and edit ALL 1200 WEDDING PICTURES!
Oh lord, this will take forever.

Amy, Amy, Amy... WOW! I must say I haven't been this inspired in a long, long while! I just happened to come upon your incredible blog (which will now be officially & permanently pinned to my favorites menu... yay!) while doing a google image search. You are SOOOOooooooo talented! I adore your style, your photos and the humor in your writing. I have much more to comment on, but I'm in the middle of working on a project (yes, off of my own personal endless to-do list) right now, so I'll have to check back again when I have more time to browse and post comments. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful photos and ideas! I appreciate all the time, passion & creativity that must go into maintaining your blog. Cheers!
