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.
