GISHWHES 107 Bride and Groom

[tripperfunster]

A man and woman in full wedding attire, standing perfectly still, holding hands in a well-lit, crowded public space for 20 minutes. Neither of you can move. This submission must be time-lapsed so the entire 20 minutes is condensed into 20 seconds -- fast motion.

Link: Me and the hubby 'renewing' our vows.

:D Remember the story of the professional photographer that I met at the Hula Hooping Postal workers shot? Well, he had given me his card. When GISHWHES was extended by 24 hours due to Hurricane Sandy, I decided that I had time to fit in one more item. I had actually misplaced his card, but remembered that he used to do magic at a toy store in the city, so I called the toy store, and they agreed to call him and give him my number. He called me back, I asked him if he owned any time-lapse tech, and he said: "No, but I'VE BEEN PLANNING ON BUYING SOME AND THIS IS THE PERFECT EXCUSE!" :D

Three hours later I was duct taped into my wedding dress *sob* (no way that puppy was gonna zip up the back!) and hubby and I posed for 20 minutes at Chapters. (The management there were lovely and gracious, and thanked US for thinking of them!) I've seen a few sped-up wedding shots for GISHWHES, but none have this great fish-eye lens and big, bright open space. The escalators and stained glass ceiling really add to it as well. (as does Lance's sock monkey hat!!)

You are so awesome! Great work!

Thanks! This one was so rushed and last minute, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! I hope you've made some sort of collection/record of all of this for your boys--what awesome parents they have. How many husbands would stand for 20 min like that in a public place with a monkey hat on? (come to think of it, how many men would marry you?! I'M KIDDING--you're my HERO!)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well, TWO people would marry me, but only one of them stuck. ;)

I know I've got a special thing with Lance, no doubt about it. And no, my kids refuse to believe that either of their parents could be remotely awesome.

*sigh*

Listen, those kids will come to their senses eventually, I know this from experience. My kids actually thanked me for being a stay-at-home mom (just for their elementary school years). They really appreciated it afterwards, and said all their friends were jealous.

I've always thought you and Lance could have your own sit-com; there must lots of material that would be quirky and funny.

And yet again, you meet a marvellous random person (or should that be marvellous random people?) willing to enable this lunacy! To me, that's the greatest aspect of the whole saga.

(NB: shouldn't the bouquet have been kale?)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes, the bouquet TOTALLY should have been kale, but this was SUPER rushed. I had even called in a friend to cover for me at work for an hour while we did this. (the same friend who took the duct tape to the back of my dress so it wouldn't be obscene to people walking behind me. ;)

ETA: The bouquet is actually aquarium plants! it's what I had on hand!
