Sunday June 28, 2026

 So, I survived taking photos of a spirited wedding Saturday, at the small church where everyone was sandwiched in and the preacher was an unabashed chauvinist pig, using the bible to punch home for a good hour that the husband is the Boss!  Sheesh..!!!

I was doing this as another favor to our building secretary downstairs.  It helps to have such a person in your corner.

We were supposed to take photos inside a hotel after church, but the ceremony dragged on way too long so we arrived too late, and everybody was stuck in the parking lot..  I will have to try something else on those pictures to change the crappy background (tomorrow).  Surprisingly the rain quit after the ceremony and we were OK until almost midnight before it began again.

The party at the hall was delayed almost 2 hours until the happy couple arrived.  Then we hurried up to eat while the food still had a semblance of warmth.  

Then, African-style music was the menu for the rest of the evening and everyone appeared to be having a good time.  I was drinking juice...

Last night I started on a few choice photos because the couple told me they wished they could honeymoon in Paris, so I did a few background changes for a laugh.

Today, after getting up early for chores, I dug into 310 photos, keeping 235.  I did all the processing first in PhotoShop on the laptop for 10 hours straight.

While that was happening, I called my buddy KJ for his 88th Birthday and watched Canada score a late goal to advance in the World Cup!!  Bravo Canada!!!

I also received 2 packages from Amazon.  Gotta love their service...

So I will have another long day tomorrow working on photos once more on the PC to use my new AI program to change backgrounds.

I am so tired right now...

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

 When they predict 96% rain for tomorrow, it makes sense to enjoy the sun of today....

They finished cleaning the parking lot and garage on time, so I was able to return my Regal and Gio to their designated spots. 

I am watching more World Cup all day and took a break to check out some UV filters for Tripp's "new" Canon.  I checked that both lenses were 58mm and then checked online to see what prices are worth in town... I ended up ordering them on Amazon, along with a new wireless keyboard and mouse, and sunglasses holders for the Regal (my old one broke) and a magnetic dash holder for my phone because my present one is unreliable.

Then I took advantage of the sun and made a short run on the Gio to watch all the grads taking photos at the Legislature.  Also, I made note of possible spots for wedding photos tomorrow, if we happen to get a break in the rain...

So I have cleaned my cameras, charged all my batteries, have extra memory cards, and have all ready to go in my backpack.  Other than coffee and clothing, I am as ready as I can be...

Now, back to reading and watching more soccer....

I am not accustomed to getting up so early... 

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
