The Photo Game: Matrimony
Background
I joined Kenneth Wajda and a small group of photographers in a weekly photo game a while ago. Kenneth wrote a prompt each week and tasked us with creating a photograph that met the prompt. Unfortunately, Kenneth's photo game is taking a break.
Since I'm not prepared to give up the game, my wife graciously agreed to provide me with a surprise prompt each week so that I can continue.
The rules are still the same:
- All submissions must be scans of film; no photos from digital cameras
- Images must be captured, processed, and submitted by 8 AM each Saturday
- Miss a week, and you're out
My goal in playing is simple. Get out and shoot film.
This Week
This week was special because I went to a friend's wedding. It was a western-themed event with burros, llamas, a horse-drawn carriage, and an old-timey prospector. I've never been to a wedding like it. It was one of a kind, just like my friend.
I took the Rolleiflex, hoping to document the occasion, and I wasn't disappointed. The photo below shows the beginning of the procession that went from the church to South Park City (yes, that South Park).
I made this photograph using my grandfather's Rolleiflex and Ilford HP5+ film.
