All Things Must Come To An End

Tomorrow I will photograph my last wedding.  I'm not retiring from photography, just from weddings. I did this young girls photographs back in November of 1991, and now it's time for her wedding.   A fitting end indeed. 

Up Close Along The Trail

Below, Red Cup Fungus.  Likes to grow on the woodland floor.  Very tiny; smaller than your pinky nail. 

                         Spider was hiding in the thistle bloom awaiting the unsuspecting bee.

Happy Birthday Kelly

                                                              24 and still going strong :)

Spice Girls at Sandstone

The date, August 3rd, 1998.

The place, Sandstone Amphitheater 

The characters... Kelly (my daughter on left) her friend Brittany on the right.

Also, a much younger Hyper.. The Kid is doing sun-squint , she was happy.

Waiting for the Spice Girls..

And, the screen opens, there they are. Lots of squeals.

I was just as enthusiastic as the girls... I really liked that group.

It was a really good show and the weather wasn't bad.

Good old Ektachrome 400 with Nikon F4 and 80-200mm lens.

Kelly being attentive and dancing too.

I remember getting in was fairly easy, getting out took over an hour.  Got the girls home around two AM.....   Worth it though.   Great evening.

Fannie's Barn Knob Noster

A few more shots from 1990 down in Knob Noster.... A very old barn, since burned, that made use of whole trees in its construction.... rather rustic though. Beautiful countryside on a rainy day. All black and white, T-Max 400.. digital tinting in most of the barn pix.
