In Case You Are Interested.


Dear Friends,
I have done something, and am about to do something, that pulls against my eager desire to avoid rejection at every turn. I have submitted my wedding to the knot's 'Real Weddings' It is an opportunity to post 7 pictures to sum up your wedding day. I messed up the first picture I posted, so now I can't draw people in to look at it. Still, I have garnered three comments. Some nice lady complimented my florists work with the bells of ireland...having no idea what these are, I am flattered. It is about to leave the first page of the most recently posted weddings, and I fear it will be lost to oblivion on page 2. That is why I am giving you the web address to check out my work.

My new challenge, along with my faithful photographer Drea, is to choose 20 pictures to submit to the website to be featured as wedding of the week. They have to be pictures that truly set the wedding apart in originality and a lot should be of the detail of the day. This idea was born to me when I spent two inservice days at the end of the year (after I finished packing up my room of course) looking at featured "Real Weddings of the Week" on the knot. I most likely won't get chosen, but since I never do anything gutsy I am going to try. What's the worst they could do? Reject me? Oh wait... that is my worst fear. Oh well. Hopefully this will assage my obsessive need to show anyone willing my dvd bursting with wedding photos (Or at the very least stop annoying my very patient husband).
OH, one more thing while on the subject of photos. I come from a gene pool devoid of photographic perspective or talent or...anything having to do with capturing a picture. Luckily, I married a man who can take execellent photos. This is handy when you don't want to spend money on actual photographers to decorate your house with. Nick did these and put them up in an artistic way. I am impressed. This is a talent I hope our children inherit. As past roommates can attest, I have bad taste and make worse editing choices when left to my own devices...Jessica Simpson poster? Please note the freakish coincidence that is the TV stating "Summer is almost over", but I can blog about my depression and wrath about school starting later...Love, Kaley and Nick

PS Our walls look terrible and stark in pictures (Highlighting my talent of manipulating light and matter to produce a beautiful photo...NOT) <---that is kind of been lurking since the days when I was obsessed with Waynes World, please forgive me.
