<br />
I get a call out of the blue from a Facebook friend I have never met who proceeds to tell me that she's always admired my work and the different cultures I photograph. Ok, and that she has a friend who's getting married in Chicago who is Persian and that she recommended to the bride that we visit about me photographing her wedding.<br />
<br />
So now I have a phone number and it's time to make that awkward phone call because I'm not even sure what just happened. Well I call Golpar, the bride, she doesn't really know me but tells me a bit about her wedding and says that she and her fiancée will look at my website and get back with me. <br />
<br />
Being 100% honest here, I was thrilled about the possibility of shooting a Iranian/Filipino wedding but I'm thinking, I either won't hear back or this one will be a "no". To my surprise, after a couple days, I receive a phone call from Golpar and she was thrilled. She even went on to say how much she loved my work and that she couldn't get her husband off my website. Very cool stuff here. So off went the contract.......<br />
<br />
Fast forward to wedding day and I'll be honest, I cried like a baby during the reception but I had to maintain some type of composure because I was still working and needed to capture all the emotions of the day. The love between these two, their families and guests was of a type that I have NEVER experienced before. We laughed, we cried, we remembered and we repeated it all throughout the ceremony. <br />
<br />
In my professional career, I have absolutely loved all the couples I've photographed and some I'm still in contact with over social media, etc. This couple and their wedding day will go down as one of my "all-time" favorites and I will never be the same. It was awesome re-experiencing their day as I put this show together for them.<br />
<br />
Cheers Joe & Golpar.......<br />

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
We move so very fast from shoot to shoot, assignment to assignment and wedding to wedding. We take well over 2,000 pictures during a given wedding and process over 1,000. We enjoy, become part of the day and even an honorary member of the family at times. We toast the bride and groom, hug Momma and exchange a firm handshake with Dad. When the cake’s all gone, DJs playing his/her last few requests, we interrupt the bride/groom for a final, joyous and sweaty hug goodbye. It’s all happens in a flash then we remember we’ve been at it since early that morning. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
We met the bride as she awoke to begin pampering for her special day. Later that morning we were with the guys, had some laughs and maybe even a cold one to get us through the day. We captured the ceremony, gathered family together for the formal pictures and then took the wedding party to another location for more amazing pictures. Happy, rowdy, hilarious, buzzed, drunk and ready to get the party started right……. We get offered more drinks, get comments like we don’t know how you do it. Aren’t you tired man and you still are only half done…….</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
In the moments throughout the day, we “chimp” at pictures on the screen as ask…. 1) How was my exposure and am I locked in now. 2) This would be a great picture as long as he/she doesn’t see me take this…. 3) If he would only get the heck out of my shot…… 4) I have my distance down now but I have the wrong lens on my camera. 5) How many more shots can I get on this memory card…. 6) How are my batteries holding out and do I need to change them before the ceremony. 7) How’s my ambient light and am is my background too dark….. 8) Am I blowing out my highlights on her skin and wedding dress and if I did, can I make that picture a black and white 9) Does she realize how beautiful she looks….. 10) I see the love between these two and maybe there is hope for the rest of us. 11) Wonder where they are going on their honeymoon…. 12) Ok, I need to remember Mom and Dad aren’t together so no pics of the two of them…. 13) Will this be the last picture of Grandma or Grandpa as they are getting up there in age…. 14) What a beautiful family; I see that this couple will have tons of support during their marriage…. 15) Man I know that robe the minister has on has got to be hot……. 16) Am I taking enough pictures…. 17) Dam, that’s my song and how do these moves go again; new cupid, slide, wobble baby wobble……. 18)…….</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
We’re back home now….. Our feet hurt, back aching and stiff, equipment is twice as heavy now and we debate and consider whether we should bring it in or wait till the morning. We have cards and cards of images to sort through and wonder why we took so many. We pray that each image makes it from memory card to computer without incident. We breathe a sigh of relief when they do and then without haste we make backup copies before bed. Now it’s 2:00am and we can barely keep our eyes open as the last image transfers to the backup drive. We close our eyes and attempt to sleep as we think about the drunk guy in the wedding party who tried to kiss us. Right then and there we go through a mental inventory to make sure we didn’t forget any equipment. We question whether we actually saw each of the 3,000 pictures we took upload to the computer and we’re up again now scanning to ensure we got them all. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
Now to the bathroom where we peel off the clothes we’ve had on for the last 18 hours. The warm shower is welcomed more that life will ever know. We reflect the imagery from the reception dance floor which makes for a nice chuckle; SMH. Nobody will even know or understand our pain and discomfort but dam it was fun……. How bad our feet hurt and don’t forget the sore back. We don’t even recognize our own smell at this point but thank God for this thing called soap and a shower. So why do we do it all? It’s not because of the money because if it were, we would all charge for pain and suffering…. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
Because, because, because……. It’s because it’s a sort of calling that speaks to us. Speaks to our very soul that comes alive not when we're retouching pictures or even burning the disk. It’s when we detach ourselves from the work and become an admirer of our own ministry. This can happen in an instant, sometimes weeks, months and even years later. That’s when the calling and our ministry are validated. When we amaze ourselves and are in awe of what we captured. When we experience that day, that oh so special day sometimes for the first time and the tears start to flow. We believe again in love aside from our own experience and what the world says……. Hope, our hope is restored and our very soul is at peace…….</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
And all the wedding photographers said….. Amen and Amen again…….</div>

The weather was perfect, everyone looked amazing and the setting was incredible. I love the colors and the style this couple chose for their wedding which added nicely to this perfect day.<br />
<br />
I met this couple at a wedding reception the year prior. I was going around to each table at the reception taking pictures of the couples and families. What I didn't know at the time was that picture I took was their first professional picture and when they saw the image, they decided that I would be their photographer for their special day.<br />
<br />
One year later on late summer day, these two were married on a beautiful winery back in the cut of Central Illinois. Cheers to Erica & Christopher Lockett.......<br />

First time I had two cameras strapped around my neck and nervous as heck to say the least. Well this time I was much more at ease but still on my game as there are no do-overs with a wedding and definitely not a destination wedding.<br />
<br />
Weather was awesome, resort was "off the chain", food was amazing and the love between Bonnie & Delvar overshadowed it all. Here's to finding your soulmate in life, soul and spirit......<br />

Last week I had the opportunity to me a young couple (Brittany & CJ) and do my second pregnancy shoot. I was a little apprehensive having not met prior the couple prior, not having the opportunity for a phone conversation, or even doing a lot of these types of shoot. However, when shooting such a fun and beautiful couple who's energy is so amazing it made my job very easy and we had some laughs in the process; especially when the Godmother showed up and started playing momma and trying to direct traffic.</div>

Last time I did some great landscape shooting in Chicago I was with my best friend Willis Lonzer and we shot some very cool bridges in the City. Well I wasn't as diligent then as I am now and I lost most of the shots from that shoot but you can see two of them in the "Travel" section of my website under Chicago. This time I decided to learn from that experience, title the folder where the shots are located MUCH better than before and backup my shots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My girlfriend and I were up before the "crack-of-dawn" and were headed to "Da Bean" to get some unabstructed shots before things got busy. She was a real trooper and convinced me to take the bus versus the 2.5 mile walk in the morning. Glad she did because the lighting was perfect by the time I got setup and any later would have made for some harsh lighting on "Da Bean"...... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On our way back, we needed to stop by Walgreen's to hydrate and that's when we ran into "Da Broad". I didn't want to just take the standard shot with Marilyn looking right back at me so I made my way around this beautiful blonde "Da Broad" and I set my camera to give off a star pattern on the building and framed the shot so I looked as though "Da Broad" was looking up to "Da Stars". I call this shot "The Starts are OUT!!!!!!!"....... See if you can pick up on where I'm going with this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
More blogging ahead as I get back in the "groove" again. Been a long time since I've had a steady presence out here. Thanks for those encouraging me (Leann and Crystal) to get back out here again. Everything in its season and thank God mine has arrived again.......</div>

About 6 months ago I embarked on a project entitled "Black is Beautiful/Black is Power". This project is part of my "Same Sun" series that focuses on people from different races, geographies and experiences and the aspects of life that bring us together once we effectively move beyond what we "perceive" based on outward appearences.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am still in the early stages of the project but excited about where it will lead and the conversations that will ensue. For now, here's a beautiful black and white photo from the project.......</div>

They are easy to miss sometimes because of the "job at hand", trying to capture "the big picture" and make everyone happy but sometimes we as photographers need to capture a little something for ourselves in the process. <br />
<br />
I took this shot last year during a shoot just because I loved the way the bangles matched the Saree and how the white background just sort of made them glow and come alive. Most people will blow right past a shot like this but when I see this I see "Art" and I'm ok with this "Art" being just for me. It might make it onto my studio wall so I don't forget the importance/significant of shooting details or another side of beauty that we often don't associate with beauty.......<br />
<br />
Here's to the details.......<br />

Last week I had the opportunity to shoot a "Half Saree" event for an Indian family. This was the third event of this type that I've done and I've had the opportunity to see a couple of the young ladies grow up which is really awesome!!!!!!! It is very special to see all of the families come together to bless and support the family and the joy exhibited throughout the event.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope to do many more of these here in the local community and abroad and to watch these young ladies grow into women.</div>

These two little women captured my eye on "Day 1" at the Kral wedding rehearsal and were the epitomy of cuteness througout the weekend. They were so excited about the day and looked very cute in their dresses. In this picture they were gazing out from the hotel room down to the front entrance. It was so cool as they called out "We See Marines", as they caught a glimpse of the groom and his brother dressed in their "Marine" dress blues. The moment was so cool that I had to get this shot. More from this wedding soon.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A couple years ago, I had the opportunity to meet Shefali; a woman with as much if not more inner beauty then she has on the outside. Since then, I feel like I've become part of the family shooting her sister Amish and meeting her parents on a couple different occasions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are times when I photograph people, I love to shoot details of their beauty, clothing, etc; this was one of those times. Shefali was wearing one of her beautiful Sarees and I took very detailed shots of her bangles, earrings, lips, etc. I didn't crop these in photoshot but used a long lens to capture what was most appealing to me. This is an example of one of those shots.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With Spring time coming, I plan to get my "Same Sun" project back in full swing. This image has got to find it into the book project in some shape, form or fashion. Stay true to your passions and "shoot what you love".</div>

Initially when I saw the shot I was intrigued by the path but didn't understand that it led to a shore. As your eyes follow the path to the shore, you will see that there are places where the path is clear and others that aren't revealed, but as you can see all ends well at the shore.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The path appears to be broken in a few places and I akin that to people in our lives and our walk. There are people we want to nudge off the path, not necessarily to their peril but off our personal walk. There are others that were part of our walk that we want to re-join us again and we hope they are waiting for us at some point on our journey where our walk becomes clearer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Whatever the path, there is beauty.... Whatever the path, there are cliffs.... Whatever the path there is a shore that we're all trying to get to.... Some "will" alone, some "will" pick up others along the way and some "will" nudge others off their path. The journey in this life to our shore is not easy but deep like the journey to the shore below. It's not without its' rewards and sometimes the greatest reward is making it to the shore but that's where the life really begins right.......</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's to the journey along the path to our shore and that's where the fun begins.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

For me, if I'm not shooting, listening to music and/or singing, I am dying a slow death...... I know this might sound strange but I have been watching myself for a while and have come to this conclusion. Now the fun begins...<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">I once tried to do all three (shooting, listening to music and singing) while doing a wedding scouting shoot in a Japanese garden in Spokane Washington. Well I got a lot of crooked pictures but it was all good because I was in a zone doing the three things in life that sustain me. Anyway, that's what the crop tool is for right?</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">I am at that point in my life's journey where I am getting a lot of insight about myself, my work, my relationships, etc... from God, my friends and family and I need and appreciate every bit of it because I know it's all in love. </div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">When I started this blog it was about pictures and insightfullness. Then against my better judgement I made it about "just" pictures then I stopped blogging for a bit, started back up again then stopped blogging altogether. Well I'm not ready to start blogging again but when I do, I will be back to my "Art"; Sharing LOVE with others through photography....</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">The death of my dear Mother towards the end of last year is still very painful to my core. I shared a lot of my pain on Facebook and I'm not use to being that transparent but for some reason I needed to be honest with myself about how I was feeling. The pain is still very much present like it was yesterday and it reminded me how little time we have here and to make some necessary but long overdue changes in my life. Not shooting anymore WAS on the table. I believe God took my desire away for a while to help me grieve and not use photography to mask my pain. Changes continue even as I blog this but God's grace is sufficient to see me through..... Sweetest name I know...</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">I expect to be back at blogging at some point and I will let God decide when the time is right and what it looks like. My work continues though and can be seen on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-N-Beasley-Jr-Photography/371687950424">fanpage </a>on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-N-Beasley-Jr-Photography/371687950424">Facebook</a>. I have a few projects in flight that I am pretty excited about. The first project traverses the Globe from here at home and is called "Same Sun". "Same Sun" is a journey through several cultures of Asia, Africa and here in the United States and examines differences that would appear to divide but actually brings awareness to how much we are all alike. The project will culminate into 4 books, the last of which will be titled "Black is Beautiful, Black is Power". The name was revealed to me a few weeks ago and I expect the other three names will come when it's time. If you are interested in learning more and participating in the project, you can contact me through the Blog.....</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">Not sure when you'll see me out here again but I appreciate the support you guys have always given me. Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. See you when I see you.....</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />

I was "all in" having never done one of these and with my continued "love affair" with the Indian culture. As expected the pageantry of colors was amazing as was the beauty of the women and charisma/character of the men. I was engulfed in all of this and really enjoyed how welcome they made this 6'3" black man who pretty much towered over everyone.<br />
<br />
I had a tremendous time and was working on getting a few of these pics to one of the women who attended the event and it dawned on me that I never posted any of the pictures. Enjoy the colors and beauty. Also, please click on the link above to get more information on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiation_in_Hinduism">ceremony</a>.<br />

As soon as I met this brotha I thought, gotta get him in the "port" right away. Well that didn't happen for a bit as practice and work kept me pretty busy but we finally got a quick shoot in after the show was over. Delvar had done runway modeling in the past but as you can tell, his skills extend beyond the runway. I gave him some direction but he didn't need much and we got a lot of great images in a short period of time.<br />
<br />
We found an alley where I was able to control most of the light and used a small Westcott softbox to illuminate him and knock down some of the surrounding ambient light. I am learning more how to better control the light "in camera" in my photographs so I don't have to fight with Photoshop and Lightroom later. Hopefully I will get a chance to get Delvar in the studio next...<br />

Reagan was one of the first people I've ever shot where I couldn't take a bad shot and while that still rings true, here comes Tatjana. I didn't know she was from Russia till we began our conversation and started sharing our stories. I truly believe that this is not a meeting of chance but speaks to my ministry of meeting and experiencing people from other cultures with experiences different from those of my own. <br />
<br />
Tatjana and I are going to hook up this month for a fashion shoot of sorts and are currently collaborating on what this looks like. Whatever we come up with I promise you will be very fashionable, striking and beautiful. I will be launching a new joint website with Tommie Chadwick (makeup and hairstylist) for my fashion work which is moving along and maturing very nicely. I pray you keep coming back for more beautiful images and updates my other projects.<br />

LOL.<br />
<br />
I did my first wedding fashion shoot with the lovely Kunjal who came all the way from Chicago to shoot with me. I got the opportunity to meet and shoot her newly (3 weeks) engaged brother (Kunal) and soon to be sister-in-law (Vaishali). They were a joy to get to know, shoot and possibly be hired for the engagement and wedding in 2012. For now, here are a few preview shots from the fashion shoot with Kunjal; as lovely as she wants to be...<br />

On the subway ride back to his house, he got off a stop ahead of me at 34th street to catch the Long Island Expressway train home. I continued on to 42nd St Port Authority headed for Time Square to get some night shots for my portfolio. As I got off the train and headed up the stairs towards ground I was trying to figure out if I should go right/left to my destination. As I reached the top of the stairs I heard what sounded like a concert coming down in the subway that I didn't hear when I got of at my stop. The sound halted me in my tracks as I debated going back down in the tunnel to see what was really going on. As I walked down the stairs, there was a crowd of people applauding someone but I was earnestly looking for the band and the "who". Well the E train was pulling seconds later and some of the crowd jumped on the train but a few faithful souls like myself stayed for more; but who the heck was singing??? </div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">As I looked around, I saw this older African American man, probably in his 60s, holding what appeared to be a Walkman CD player (his band) seated next to a cart with speakers that amplified his accompanying music. Well I wasn't 100% sure that is was him because there was no microphone and he was just kinda sitting there looking happy and content.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">Then what happened next blew me away as he hit the play button on the CD player and started crooning the crowd. This man had a POWERFUL voice which needed no microphone as he lit up the subway tunnels. His only competition which wasn't ever a fair fight was the train as it swept to a stop on either wide of him during his redemptions of songs sung my famous artist if his time. </div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText">As must have states there listening to him for 15-20 minutes as he sung and spoke of his music, famous people he sung with in front of his well earned bag of money from the crowd from donations and CD sales. I gave my donation to the cause as I listening, smiled and took pictures of this subway wonder. Now I wasn't going to leave this story by just referring to him as a "subway" wonder as it wouldn't have done his life or musical works justice. Right before I took off for Time Square, I complimented him again on his music and asked for his name. He told me that he is known as the "Singing Dragon". Well the "Singing Dragon" at age 69 had some footwork to go along with that voice. I figured this was my chance to get away or else I would have been there all night seduced by a "Dragon" as so many of us were that evening; a nice treat to end my last full day in Manhattan. <br />

As we exited the tunnel into New Jersey around 8:00pm, my breath was taken away by this beautiful view of the New York skyline from across the river. If it weren't for my suitcase and camera bag, I would have jumped off the bus, started shooting and figured out how to get to my grandmothers house later. Well good sense prevailed and I stayed on the bus but was trying to figure out how to get the shot.<br />
<br />
The very next day, my Aunt and I decided to go back into the city and I thought, here's my chance. I took a later subway ride and bus back into New Jersey and got off the bus to take my shots; only problem was that I got to my location too early and had to wait for nightfall. So I decided to stroll around this park across the bay from the skyline which is where I first saw Lauren and thought, WOW!!! I would love to photograph her. Then a few steps later as I walked around I ran Matt and thought, these two must be together and I would love the opportunity to photograph this couple. As I got closer a car pulled up with two photographers and I quickly figured out what was happening and I thought, "'I've got some time on my hands so I will watch this engagement shoot till my light it right"; all of us photographers LOVE to watch!!! LOL...<br />
<br />
After "watching" for a bit, I started to engage the photographers and offered some "head nods" when I saw things that I liked. One of the photogs was having trouble controlling the background light with her flash, I provided some suggestions which helped her get the background light under control and I was her new BFF. After watching for their shoot for another 5-10 minutes, the two photogs invited me to shoot with them after clearing it with the couple, "Lauren and Matt" who were doing engagement photo's for their 2011 wedding. So here's my little confession or excuse for the quality below. When going into New York for the day, I left my backup batter for my main camera and my main flash as I didn't plan on shooting people that day. So I shot this with my Canon 30D at very high ISOs with no flash so I had to wait till almost dusk in order to pull in the New York skyline while getting Lauren and Matt exposed properly.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed myself with this couple and in meeting some photog brother-in and sister-in. Did I mention how much I LOVE and MISS the East Coast which will always be home for me. <br />

Now we the photographer need to make sure we do the technical things in order to create a beautiful image but I still think it's somewhat rare. Well I ran into one of those rarities in Reagan. I was able to get out with her a couple times and each shoot left me in awe!!! This is one of those jewels I've been holding onto unless you've been out to my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-N-Beasley-Jr-Photography/371687950424">Facebook fanpage</a>. <br />
<br />
I have sooooo many stunning images of Reagan that it was impossible to choose my favorites so I closed my eyes and started flagging images for the blog and then limited myself to these few. Enjoy these and don't be surprised if there is another post about Reagan...<br />

We had never met before, things were slow in the restaurant so I mentioned that I was a professional photographer and had done some work for the <a href="http://davidbeasleyjr.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-station-220.html">restaurant </a>. Well she remembered me being there on a couple occasions shooting, said she loved my work and that she was a graphic artist and done the menus and other artwork for the re-branding of the <a href="http://davidbeasleyjr.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-station-220.html">restaurant</a>.<br />
<br />
As we spoke more I mentioned that I loved her "look" and that I wanted to get her in the studio; she was "all-in". Now when I post the rest of the pictures, you will notice that she has a "few" tattoos. Well believe it or not, I didn't at the time we met but quickly noticed them as we were getting her ready for her photoshoot. My first thought was "that's interesting" but my second thought was "we're going to have some fun" and we definitely did. I am showing you, in this preview, my second favorite shot from her studio session. More to come on Angie and my catchup from the Spring/Summer.<br />
