Today's My Birthday!

[Elisabeth Snel]

. . . and I got a birthday message from Open Photography (thanks!) which prompted me to check out how things were going here. So, I'll introduce myself! I'm the director of communications for a large residential remodeling firm in Atlanta by day and second shooter for my boyfriend by. . . well, night, weekends, etc. You can see our work at www.scottwangphoto.com.

I've be a photo hobbiest all of my life. First real camera was a Konica, which bit the dust at the Empire State Building actually! It fell! (not as dramatic as I'd like for it to seem. . .it fell in, not out, so only droped a foot or so, but it was enough. . .RIP.)

So, now I feel very lucky that I've met someone where I get to share in shooting beautiful moments!

Happy Birthday, Elisabeth!

It's a pleasure to get to know you.

I went for a look.

Do you have any photos that are not from your commercial site to show us?

Best wishes,
Mary

Happy birthday and be welcome here.
As you may have noticed we really wish Real Names, see our TOS for more detail.

I know a Queen Elisabeth
I know King Crimson*
Does this could make a real Name?

If so, or if you're real name is different, please PM it to Asher Kelman or myself and will do the change.

All the best again for that great day!

* I guess you're still too young, but when I was 20 or so, there were a great music group named King Crimson (needed to smoke the carpet to be able to listen to the full record, no CDs at that old times!)

Happy birthday!

Also, please contact the adminitrator, Asher Kelman, to change from an anonymous handle (i.e., "Crimson7291") to your real name.

I see that Nicolas beat me to it, about the real names.

Nicolas, King Crimson rocked! Starless and Bible Black and Lark's Tongues in Aspic and Lizard and Discipline are among my favorites.

Elisabeth, I'm sure your boyfriend treated you especially well for your birthday. Wish you happy birthday and many, many, many more to come!

I enjoyed your website!

You should be able to get a real discount on any services you need for fine parties.

I hope you get great excuses to celebrate!

thanks to all the well wishers!

Thanks to all the well wishers on OPF - I had a great birthday. My boyfriend took me to Miami & other than the rain, it was great. I'll let Asher know to change Crimson to Elisabeth. . . I guess that's just a bad habit for these places. And, I'll post some of my images here as well. If you've checked out the website, you saw many of my pics in the wedding gallery, but I realize you aren't able to distinguish my shots from Scott's. (My favorite personal shot on the gallery is the close up boudoir shot - bride's head is turned to her right. And, the cake shot on the front page is mine as well.) So, keep an eye out for some posting of mine here.

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day!

Elisabeth

Elizabeth,

do you have images that are challenging to optimize like a brides veil. What we are looking for are images that really need work and not easy. Even ones that you yourself can't perfectly deal with?
