Flash/No Flash
17Aug2004 Filed under: WeddingI emailed our friend Ben some pictures taken very late in the night at our wedding. They’re essentially two versions of the same scene, taken by two different photographers a few minutes apart. Here was Ben’s take on the two shots:
Those photos are wonderful. In the first one, we all look beautiful, the golden era, the summer of ‘69, rosy memories of times gone by. In the second, we all look like full-bore-louie tweakers, each of our heads resembling weird and perverted vegetables straining to hear some expletive addled story.
He’s right, of course. What a difference a flash can make.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

That is a hilarious description. I can’t wait to see the pictures when you post them here. (you will won’t you?- no access to flickr allowed at work…)

In the long run, yes: I will post *some* pictures in a gallery on electrolicious. But that may not be until October, after we return from the honeymoon. And I’m going to be using flickr a lot in the meantime.
What is it about flickr you can’t view at work? Is the site blocked? If so, try browsing to it from thecloak.com or anonymizer.com. Is it that you don’t have flash at work?
