(yup)
When I made an appointment with Naomi and William for the first time on a beach, I was far from suspecting that this choice would be if appropriate.
When they told me about their project, it took me a good dose of self-control to keep a modicum of dignity and does not jump to the ceiling.
When I came back from their wedding, I told myself it was for days like this that I did, and I loved this job.
When we had finished the meeting, before the most infamous chicken I have ever had to swallow (in a restaurant that shall remain nameless, but on a beach), I thought that I 'had much chance to be in my place, and the images created that day were among what I do best.
When I look at them today, I tell myself that I was right. I also say that when we brought the good subjects, good weather, and such love, my job is almost done ... Otherwise, the already described Nadar in 1857:
Photography is a wonderful discovery,
a science which occupies the highest intellects, an art that sharpens the minds of the most sagacious and whose application is within the scope of the last of idiots ...
photographic theory learned in an hour ...
What is not learned ...
is the feeling of light ...
moral intelligence is about you,
is the tact that puts you in fast communion with the model ... and you can give ...
likeness most familiar and most favorable
intimate resemblance.

So true.
