rich + alyssa - Thank you, as always, our friend :) I think you've touched on a big point. It's definitely our jobs to take regular folks just like us and shoot them in such a way that they look like total rock-stars. I know I want them to look at their photos and say, "damn - that's the best I've ever looked." That's the goal - it's not to make them look like models or make us look like fashion photographers - because nobody is either, you know? 1.12.10, 11:50amJeff - I have said this once before here. . .I think, but these are truly what separate a photographer from a great photographer. These photos set the stage for so many things (how the couple reacts to you, the joy they find in each other and finding that comfort zone for exploring your artistic expression) You have so instinctively and without question raised the bar of coolness for each one of these people in this set. They are rock stars, all of them. You made them feel for a few hours. . .untouchable. And. . .the thing that kicks the most ass, is that you do it again, at an even high level, when you do their weddings. I come to call you my invisible photography friends. Why? because we constantly communicate through these wire walls of the internet and yet have never met. It is always a pleasure to stop by and leave a word and I can't wait to see what is up your inked sleeves yet in Buffalo. 1.12.10, 11:48am
