philadelphia / first of spring

these photographs are average.

the weekend, on the other hand, was not.

getting to see mark kozelek live was the single most amazing experience of my life, yet. and i mean that, completely. it was good to be gone for the weekend. and with really good friends. i just felt lucky to be able to spend such a sweet, warm and bright weekend doing so many lovely things with people who make me feel good. happy spring.

mother sun

these are some pictures i took a while ago of mother sun. i think that they turned out okay - they could have been better. the lighting was pretty bad. and turns out it's really difficult to take a picture in which all six members of the band actually look good - especially in bad lighting. but it was a great experience, nonetheless.

note: i love jon cordle with all of my heart and soul. but if you're going to buy glasses and you ever plan on someone taking a picture of you, splurge for the anti-reflective lenses.

emma and neil's wedding

emma and neil are two of the kindest people i've ever known. and this was one of the most fun weddings that i've ever been to. doing their wedding was easy, and fun, and simple. they were comfortable and easy and didn't have high expectations like normal couples. because of this, i think their pictures turned out beautiful. nothing was planned - not even the white horse.
