What Will You Remember About This Day?

What memories will you create in 2014?  And keep? My memory is fickle.  It’s filled with holes and gaps wider than I can stretch my arms.  I rely on my friends and family for memories.  And, I rely on photographs.  My photographs.  Those made by others.  That fill old family photo albums or online galleries.  The…

Wrapping Up 2013

Today is my last day working this year.  I’ve been cranking the Beatles while finishing up edits from my last session of the year.  And ordering a few samples I need to have on hand for 2014. This morning, we buried a pet hamster.  Kind words were spoken by my boy and he took complete responsibility…

Christmas Day At The Wenzel Digs

The day started early, but not as early as in years past.  In years past, the kids have been up throughout the night at 1am, 3am, 3:30am, 4:45am and 6am to run downstairs and check to see if Santa has come and then double, triple, quadruple, quintuple check to make sure all previous checks were…

Matt + Mike Got Married!

Two grooms almost kissing at sunset

This day was over twenty two years in the making.  A day that Matt and Mike never imagined would be possible in their lifetime.  But in May 2013, Minnesota passed a law for marriage equality and what was never possible became a day to plan and celebrate.  I was so honored that Matt and Mike…

Hands

I love holding my honeys hand and find that it is almost always in mine when we walk together.  I constantly find myself drawn to hands, without even being aware that I’m photographing them until I pull the images off my memory card and onto my computer.  So many of the images are surprises to…

HeroBox.org had several events at the Home Depot Headquarters at the beginning of December, partnering with the Home Depot Foundation.  They worked together to not only send wonderful supplies overseas to our soldiers, but also to help the homeless here in Atlanta.  So many people came together on this morning to unpack dozens of pallets of donated…
