Yesterday was a really big day for civil rights (though we must admit that Wednesday was a pretty shit day). I’m sure you’ve heard about DOMA and Prop 8 already, and honestly a lot of the legal stuff is really confusing to me. There’s still plenty to be sorted out and still a long road ahead for full marriage equality. I hadn’t planned to go down to the Supreme Court again, but when my building lost power and I couldn’t be home working, it seemed like the place to go.
Heather and Frantisek were married at the beautiful Rosemont Manor with some pretty serious mountain backdrop action going on (or as much of that as you can get here in Virginia). It was about the nicest, prettiest day you could ask for in early June. A well-traveled, international couple, tight-knit families and some rambunctious kids made for a heck of a wedding.
So it’s not all happy couples looking adorable at this job. Sometimes a girl has to attend educational conferences (or, you know, editing or office stuff or taxes or etc. etc. etc.) Last week, I went to the LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph down in Charlottesville, Va. I’m happy to say that I’ve already met up with some new friends and have started the planning for a large-scale personal photography project – so it’s gotten my ass in gear about a handful of things, at least.
