After hearing Senator Obama’s historical speech, I was inspired and joyous. As I sat in front of my TV set, starring at my non-HD tube. I realized that we control our own destiny. The best part of his speech was when he said,
I get it. I realise that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don’t fit the typical pedigree, and I haven’t spent my career in the halls of Washington.
But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring. What the nay-sayers don’t understand is that this election has never been about me. It’s been about you.
Last week I photographed a couple that I love and admire for quite some reasons. Mide and Junior is a good friend of ours (my wife and I) for so many years and just capturing one of the happiest days of their life was truly touching. They were surrounded by families and friends and wonderful people that care much about them. The day went perfectly and there was a great cooperation amongst vendor. Two days prior, Aby and I photographed their traditional engagement wedding that took place at Peju’s Kitchen. Below are some of my favorite images from the wedding and big thanks to Abayomi and Folasade for shooting with me. They helped me capture some of the most remarkable images from the wedding. And to see more pictures from this wedding please see slideshow at the end of the last image.
Congratulations once again to Mide and Junior. I will be blogging about this wedding tomorrow however, I would like to share the slideshow from their traditional wedding engagement.
Last weekend, I shot a wedding in Fairfax, Virgina with Alejo of Flutter Photo on one of my busiest weekend so far this year. Before the wedding, I had to shoot an e-session with another great couple in Annapolis, Maryland.
I’ve been so busy watching the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games coverage on NBC. I think the 2008 Olympics is the most watched in history with coverage spanning live from China through different mediums.
Wikipedia noted that
American broadcaster NBC produced only 2 hours of online streaming video for the 2006 winter games but produced approximately 2,200 hours of coverage for the 2008 summer games.
Also this Olympics has the best photography coverage than ever before. Because of the exponential technology growth such as high ISO, high mega pixels and super fast shutter speeds photographers can now take amazing journalistic pictures.
Mide and Junior’s wedding ceremony took place at a beautiful and intimate site called “The Villa” located in Beltsville, MD. The bride and groom are one of the coolest couple and I enjoyed every bit photographing their wedding.
