It's weird attending an event and to not be the official photographer. I do not enjoy concerts as much if I can't have my camera with me. I find myself thinking more about the shots, different angles, and the lighting more than I do the actual show anymore. Last week I attended a friend's wedding and found that it is a lot like attending concerts now. Fortunately, I was able to bring my camera, and the feedback I have received on my Facebook page has been pretty positive. There are very few photos of the actual ceremony since the hired photographers were in between me and the ceremony. That's ok, though. It was a beautiful wedding! (also, the reception had an open bar. ;) )
