On the heels of my previous post, as promised, here's the first in my Daily Art series, showcasing some of my favorite photographic prints from my portfolio and telling you a little bit about each.
Tequila Sunrise
Several years ago I was doing my very first wedding photography shoot for a friend. They were getting married on the beach in Huntington Beach, CA. She'd asked me to join them the night before so I could check out the location and be at the rehearsal dinner. As we were walking from the quick rehearsal on the beach to the restaurant for dinner, I was lucky enough to have a moment to snap this shot and capture the beautiful sunset; casting the birds, trees and others enjoying the scene, into silhouette. I was really hoping that the colors would be as vibrant the following day so that I could perhaps get some amazing sunset shots with the couple after the wedding, but we weren't that lucky.
When I look at this, it seems to be the epitome of a Californian sunset. A few minutes before, or a few minutes after, and I wouldn't have been able to capture that light and shadows in the same way. To me that's one of the most wonderful things about photography. It's a snapshot of a moment in time that will never appear exactly the same way again.
