I woke up early today… No. Actually stayed up late.

Watched the Royal Wedding in preparation for my own Wedding May 27th, which will be just like the Royal Wedding, but with less hats, less faggy accents, and by that, I mean, less "Harry Potter" sounding. Still, it would have been awesome if they'd played the Benny Hill music this morning. 


I have to admit I got chocked up a bit. I even woke up Jessica so she could watch it with me. I'm such an anglophile.


Today was almost as awesome as it was last night! I'm spending the weekend with Jessica, Marilyn and Erin, but two of the three are sick. So Jessica and I took some fantastic photos today and I have to say, I think they look pretty great! I wish I could post some for you, but maybe later. 


I used to be quite the photographer back in the day and Jessica's ex-husband who is a photographer, has taken so many wonderful photo of her that it's just impossible to compare. He really had a way it seems to get her to feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. 


I used to get models and everyday folk to open up, but he really had the magic touch with Jessica. I try, but it just isn't the same. The results are so far off. She knows what's good from her experiences with him and my style doesn't appear to be working well with her. I might just have to leave that to him or someone else and reassess my photography skills in another area and other subjects. There might be some slight breakdown in communication with her in this regard. I have several photos of her that he took and they have her very excited and relaxed and open to all sorts of cool poses, but my work with her comes across as stiff, cold and unflattering. I better just stick with taking pictures of myself.


Jessica has found her crack! I mean, her new addiction... ahem... Smokey Maple Syrup Bacon! I'm serious, she is in Valhalla! The house smells like an IHOP now!
