I've done about a hundred weddings and I've always said a photographer doesn't know what its like to be "under the gun" unless they shoot a wedding. Talk about bullet's flying!! That's NOTHING compared to the pressure of a wedding. I'll admit to really have gotten into it! It forced me to get my act together so when i got commercial jobs, certainly dabblings in photojournalism and events they were in comparison a piece of cake. And not flying through the air cake either! So many photographers put down weddings but they just don't have the GUTS!! You screw up those negs and the brides mother makes a voodoo doll of the wedding photographer with a little camera and sticks pins in it for the rest of your life. You've never get another days rest! I'd rather screw up a magazine cover and have to come up with the million bucks to rehire the supermodel for a reshoot! mark :) rabiner updated temporary Website by "Foxy": http://spokenword.to/rabiner/
