Every bride is a 10
Every bride is a 10. Almost sounds like a movie title, doesn’t it? Though this question probably dates me more than I care to admit, do you remember the 1979 movie, “10,” starring Bo Derek and Dudley Moore? This romantic comedy popularized the rating of one’s physical attractiveness on a scale of 1-10. While usually…
Don’t take my Kodachrome away
“I got a Nikon camera I love to take photographs So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away.” So sang Paul Simon the summer of 1973.

Help! It’s raining for my photo shoot!
