most random

I was waiting at the library on a late Saturday afternoon.  It was snowing outside (finally!), and people were coming in and out.  Returning books, checking out books, shaking the wetness from their coats as they entered from the street.  Each time the door would open, a chilly blast of air would announce the arrival or departure of a library patron.  They were college students, families, young and old.  As I stood there, an elderly man walked out of the main library.  He had a beard and a yellow parka.  There was a spring in his step as he strode through the library foyer.  He stopped and looked at me.

“I couldn’t find the unicorns,” he said.  “I’m going to go look in the lake.”

Then, without waiting for any response from me, he headed straight out the door into the rain and snow.

It was so random.  I’m glad he didn’t want a response from me, because I had nothing.

second shooting with Tara Winsor

Back in September I had a great opportunity to be second shooter for Tara Winsor of Winsor Photography…she specializes in all types of portraits, but wedding photography is her passion!  And she is terrific.  She asked me to tag along for some wedding formals and I jumped at the chance!  I was super excited to learn from such a talented photographer.  I can see why she loves to photograph weddings…it is so fun to see the love between a bride and groom!  I mentioned this shoot before…the weather was questionable and we got a late start, but it all turned out.  Not only do I love the photos that Tara captured (you can see them here), but I got a few myself:

What does the second shooter do?  It was my job to shoot from different angles…I wasn’t right behind Tara, for example, I was a foot or two to the side.  It was a pleasure to shoot with her and to meet her clients!  Thanks, Tara!
