We photographers are interesting creatures. We get excited over broken down old rusty cars, buildings that are falling apart with cracked paint, old ratty chairs – all of which make for the most amazing backgrounds, props and unique things to use during portrait sessions. Many of us also have a serious addiction for blankets. We call each other when we find a new fantastic, amazing, oh my goodness this would so be rockin’ for a photo type of blanket. We email each other asking where to get them, how much and if we can’t find it will you pick one up for me. Oh dear, it truly *is* like a drug. I think I’m up to 2,456,746 blankets, oh wait, I see another one peeking out from the plastic storage bins that I keep them in, ok so 2,456,747 blankets. As I was putting some of them away today I snapped a few photos and made this funky collage of some of the blankets I have. I guess it’s a good thing I have this blanket collection, it sure is cold here in Atlanta right now!
). One of my wonderful client couples is celebrating 50 years of wedded bliss. I recently joined them at The Mansion Hotel here in Buckhead, in the heart of Atlanta to photograph them on their very special day. They emailed me this morning and are currently vacationing and having a wonderful time in London, England – which by the way I’m jealous that they are there and I’m here in 17 degree weather, it’s so very cold here for me and my California blood. I had to actually go out and buy a coat and I had to put away my flip flops. Oh dear…
