It's pretty annoying. I was about to check to and see if SL/SL still worked after the new talents - 10pm, and still down!

You know, you might be right. Now that I think about it, I publish to groups but I don't really read from them - only sometimes. It's all a time management thing, I guess. I subscribe to a few groups that I read, but that's about it. I don't mind old postcards.

I was thinking the other day, they'd be great for people who don't use groups. I do, and I use them pretty much on-topic and correctly, so there's little use for me ... at least right now. I see potential for it, maybe after a future upgrade.

Nah, David - your description of the movie isn't that far off from the book. Skip it. Thanks for the comment. I haven't watched Lions for Lambs, but not I think I will.

Aha! Deb, thanks for catching that. I'm going to edit the article.

Reading the book gives a marginal amount of added enjoyment to the movie. Read a few pages, if it's not your thing, probably not.

Thanks again for the correction.

Thanks, Holly. And flit, I'm with you. It's rare indeed.

I've been working on that for awhile. I can't talk about it, though. You know how it is.

If I have a monkey, and you have a monkey, and the monkey has a straw, and the straw ....

Then I. Drink. Your. Monkey.

Yeah, anyway. Sorry for all that. Good interview and interesting guy. Thanks.

You nailed it, Paul - too clever for his own good. Good review. Thanks.

1. A decent camera.

2. A good tripod. Take it easy on ISO and go with aperture instead for light management. First-time wedding photographers tend to go a little nuts on ISO because it looks good on the LCD or through the lens, but you can't see the incredible amounts of noise that are in the image.

3. Don't let other family members and friends take pictures while you are taking posed shots. People will be looking all over the place because there are so many cameras around.

4. If there's a cocktail hour, don't forget that time. Some of the best candids come from the cocktail hour and a lot of photographers sit it out. Of course, if the cocktail hour happens while you're taking the posed shots, this doesn't apply.

5. Both quantity and quality count, so go for as much as possible of both.

6. For candid shots, don't go nuts over composition. Shoot at a high enough resolution that you can crop, and you can compose your shots in a sense later on the computer. Normally I'd advocate getting lots of practice composing shots, but a wedding is just too important. Lots of people miss great shots because they're trying for that perfectly composed shot. Get the shot at a high resolution, be very inclusive, and you can compose later. As someone said above, this doesn't apply to background objects that you don't want in your shot altogether.

7. Lastly. Most importantly. Do what you say you will do. If you promise a disc within 2 weeks, get that disc done in two weeks. If you promise prints, deliver prints. I can't believe how many "friends-of-friends" wedding photographers just don't make the time to meet their obligations once the day is done.

(I've done this a couple of times :) )

I'm late on this, so I only read a few comments. Sorry if this is covered already ... If you want to use some of the ashes, I think that's a touching idea, but it sounds like it's already a no-go. you should take the design you've been working on and incorporate a memorial element into it. I can't think of any better memorial than adapting something you've already poured your heart and soul into.

I'm so sorry. I know how hard this is for you and everyone.

Good review, Bill. I heard somewhere that they're going to make a fictionalized feature-length out of this. Be interesting to see.

Skipped the comments. I started out with mixed feelings on the friend set thing, but I'm warming up to it.

Glad I made the cut.

Hi did build it. It's very awesome. This tiki is located at my in-laws house ... he's a family friend.
