I’m working on a new video, wholly dedicated to John Rapp’s dance moves. A few months ago, John Rapp showed off some of his swagger at a wedding in St. Louis. Luckily, I captured some of it on film, and as he later said – “Damn it feels good to be a gangster”. Then in September, guests at another wedding were graced with his presence and moves. I’m still trying to put together the footage from this latest display of fancy footwork, but it will be sufficiently embarrassing when it’s complete. In the meantime, since I had previously only posted this on Facebook, enjoy the clips from the Dunlap / Miller wedding in St. Louis – quality is bad outside of Facebook, but oh well.
A couple great friends got married in Seattle several weeks ago, and it was a wonderful ceremony and reception. I decided to use an old Nikon FE to shoot a couple rolls of film. It was tough, and these photos don’t do the celebration justice. It’s pretty hard to shoot without a flash on an old 1970′s camera using ISO 800 film and a 50mm lens wide open at f/1.2… whew. You realize how lucky you are to go back home and use a 5d Mark II. I decided to scan in the sprockets cause I like it that way, but it can definitely be a bit too much.
I took a lot of pictures last weekend at my cousin’s wedding in Peoria. Click here to go to the Flickr set of all the photos, or click into this post to get to a few more of my favorites.
