Before the Wedding
March 19, 2011
Photograph by Tom Atwood |
If you have read this blog in the past year you know that I am not a fan of pretty pictures, like the kind you might see on a greeting card, or the kind that might resemble elevator music if you could see it. Too pretty. However, I am all for beautiful photographs, especially if they tell a story, or raise questions. The story behind this photograph of a bride and her sister before the wedding Saturday is simple and profound: it is a big day--one of the biggest in anyone's life--and they are a little nervous. It is that point in the wedding day when all the preparations have been made, for the most part, and there's not much to do but wait, and be part of the day, nerves and all. And maybe wish that photographer would go away.
