How is everyone celebrating Thanksgiving?

Me: Since my family doesn't celebrate thanksgiving, i'll be celebrating it with my friends at the casino.

Happy belated Thanksgiving to you :)

I went to Yosemite for a 4-day camping trip -- ate hot dogs, turkey & ham lunch meat, instant noodles, clementines, and beef jerky. It was pretty good and boy... instant noodles was never as welcome as that trip before: it was FREEZING in the morning and evenings!

Shot over 1,200 pictures -- narrowed it down to about 300 that I'm keeping. Will share in the Hobbies section sometime :)

Why do you dislike wedding photography now?

Every angle in NYC may have been shot, but you may be able to find new gems by taking close-up shots of things people normally don't think about. MB is pretty good with that -- she enjoys doing Macro shots whereas I enjoy more wider shots.

There is a possibility for me to return to the East coast next year :) Perhaps we could meet then ;) I'm thinking of the New England area, including Niagara and/or Canada.

wide is so fun as well, but i need to practice on composition, i am horrible at "regular" range...

Eddy, both of your pictures are "broken" -- can you fix their links?

You could try to make wedding photography exciting by taking candid shots (with a nice zoom lens.) Most people photograph poses, but personally for myself, I prefer having pictures of my wedding's genuine moments, rather than artificially posing for each shot.

"Capture the moment", especially the kids.
