Anticipation(s)

I photograph weddings as a pro-am and it's something of a labor of love for me. One thing that I haven't been able to shake though, are the jitters and worries that plague me a month before the shoot. These butterflies are like my social worries about meeting new people. I'm entirely dodgy and shy and unconfident when the mere idea of new socialities surface to the now. But put me in that firey cauldron and I strive to be the dominant flavor. I like to think that I'm the same way with photography. Since it actually involves a good bit of personable ability, I'm more at home behind a lens and in front of people than I am anywhere else.

With that said, I'm terribly excited/scared about this weekend. While I'm responsible for creating the images that last a lifetime, at the same time, I'm responsible for creating the images that last a lifetime.
