I'm fairly certain I met Jessica and Thomas when we shared a room at DragonCon a few years ago, but for all I know (and I even asked) we could have met before.

Sometime later Jessica became a huge supporter of me and my photographic career. We always talked about shooting, but things never seemed to line up.

When Thomas asked for Jessica's hand in marriage at this year's Con, the decision was made that it was in fact time for us all to work together.

And because you can't get a bunch of nerds together without having a moment of "we should dress like Mortal Kombat characters and run around a park". It was decided that some additional fun had to be had.

Congratulations to you two, here is to many loving years together.

Oh, and Thomas. FINISH HER...or something.

These guys are just too cute.

David is a person whom I have known through my time here in Atlanta. He always makes an effort to reach out when we are at the same event, has loaned me his back yard for a photo shoot, and generally is one of the best people I have met during my tenure here.

When he reached out to me asking if I would be interested in taking the photos for his engagement announcements, of course, I wanted to make it happen. And then when I found out we would be spending part of a Saturday at the Historic Atlanta Oakland Cemetary, you bet I was game to be there.

Enjoy!

Bonus IQ180 shot. Honestly, before I give my opinions on this system I really need to play with it some more. I was told before shooting with it that a Tripod would be almost required, and after shooting with it I can agree. I have found that when you hit focus, it hits hard and the photo is full of detail, but when you miss...it also misses very hard.

Also it's a matter of understanding that what you see on the back of the camera, isn't exactly what you are going to get. I found the images looked much worse until I got them into the computer.
