Re-post October 2011
I feel like I’m posting a lot of pictures from Chicago recently. I was there twice within 6 weeks at workshops and fortunately captured many pictures.
Here is a wedding that we came across when walking along Michigan Avenue. What really caught my attention was the bagpipes. I focused on the bride and groom and stuck my camera up in the air and caught this picture. I really like the bubbles being released into the air, it adds a little to the shot.
I was amazed a few weeks ago when I was in Chicago of how many weddings were going on on Michigan Avenue. I suppose it would be a great place to tie the knot. We came across this bride and groom who were getting their picture taken. I had my Leica 28mm summicron and snapped this picture. I really like the wide angle here. It gives you a sense of how large the occasion was.
This weekend, my wife, our baby girl, and I drove back to our home town for a friends wedding. It had been many years since I had seen or spoke to him. I was glad to see after all these years, that he has succeeded with his career and found that someone special to spend the rest of his life with.
While watching the ceremony I reminisced the great times we had growing up and I’m happy that things have turned out well for him and his family.
