On the 3rd Anniversary of my Granddaughter's Murder
On the 3rd anniversary of one of the most horrific days of my life, I wanted to repost some of the amazing tributes that were made in memory of Savannah. Never forgotten... until we meet again.
Thank you to the talented musicians who recorded this song and to Bob Young for writting this breathtaking song in memory of our little angel - Brand New Angel - When Savannah Smiles -
And Malysa Stone for posting his beautiful video. And thank you to Shari Solheim for posting her amazing words! Crumpled Up Piece of Paper (I wrote this about a week after Savannah passed away, so it was inspired by her.) So maybe someday you'll understand a crumpled up piece of paper I am. The story of a girl is written on me. But I'm crumpled up and no one has read me. No one has cared to listen to the thoughts of one lonely girl. A girl that was told she was always wrong. A crumpled up piece of paper I am. Someday someone will find me and unfold me and try to lay me flat, iron out my back. But the scars will remain, the wrinkles on my page. Dana & Elliott A Night to RememberWOW! Truly a day to remember. Ok... I go way back with Dana's family... from Bat Mitzvahs to weddings. It is always such a compliment when you are invited over and over again to capture a family's special moments. They are a special family! Dana & Elliott's wedding was an amazing day. Chicago's Field Museum provided an exceptional venue for a perfect evening organized by Robin and Susan - The Party People. Tom Kehoe and his crew transformed Stanley Field Hall into a dream setting. Blue Plate's expert chefs presented just as beautiful offerings for the guests to indulge in. The dance floor was TOTALLY PACKED all night (and into the early morning hours) thanks to the amazing sounds of the one and only Ken Arlen and his Orchestra. So many great moments... so many photos... here are a few (thank you to Rebecca at the Field for her help and hospitality).
Kerri & MattWhen you are asked to photograph the wedding of the daughter of someone who is so respected and loved in the industry... it is the ultimate compliment. Thank you Ed and Glenys for having us there!@Chuck Share (Weddings, Inc.) pulled everything together for the 300+ guests. @Micheal Lerich and his Orchestra had the dance floor PACKED all night. The Drake Room and the Gold Coast Room were decked out like a palace by @Yanni. You should have seen the food... amazing... done right by Danziger and the @Drake Hotel. I will post some of those photos later.
New Orleans and the Fuji X100Had some down time in New Orleans and decided to take the Fuji X100 out for a test under the toughest conditions: 1. In extreme contrast 2. In extreme darkness 3. In extreme rowdiness 4. Intoxication
Jamie & AdamAll I can say is WOW! Jamie and Adam's wedding at the Standard Club in Chicago was amazing... Bradley Young had the dance floor PACKED all night (and early morning). HMR produced an incredible decor for the wedding. Randy Schuster and crew kept it all running smoothly for Jamie and Adam. Hope you're having a great time in Maui... and Adam you may give me a light slap when you see me :) Here are a few quick images of the day:
