So.

I’m watching So You Think You Can Dance and they just showed a montage of dancers who have been told they made it through to the Las Vegas portion of the competition and as they are jumping around and celebrating I feel myself getting emotional.

Woah. Hold on. Really?! REALLY OHOLENDT?

But, here’s the thing. I know what those contestants are feeling. That complete and total elation when you realize that your dream is literally in your hands.

My camera is my Vegas ticket.

And since this is a photography blog after all – here’s a sneak peak from Whitney & John’s amazing wedding last weekend.

Big things are happening.

This made my day.

(Though I read that Google has what they call little “spiders” that “crawl the web” and um…I REALLY THINK THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE METAPHOR TO SOMETHING LESS CREEPY. )

You know that part in the movie Notting Hill where Hugh Grant’s character is saying goodbye to Julia Robert’s character after their somewhat messy introduction to each other? I will never forget what he says to her.

“It was nice to meet you; surreal, but nice.”

If I could sum up my young life in photography the tag line would read, “surreal, but nice”. I feel like I’ve spent the last few months floating along in this dreamlike state and in truth, I don’t ever want it to end.

I am exactly where I am supposed to be, of that I have never been more sure.

Surreal, but nice indeed.

i’m yours,
