help make clark famous

with 12 comments

This afternoon Linda and I attended the wedding and reception of a close friends daughter. When I saw that the wedding photographer was not shooting anything other than the standard staged shots at the reception I went out to the car and got my camera.

Since this is not something I was planning on shooting I just used the pop-up flash on the camera and shot the best I could. When I started shooting my friend Clark, the father of the bride, immediately said, “I don’t want to see these on the Internet tomorrow,” that was all it took.

The first shot is Clark during a dance warning me in his best school teacher voice about seeing his picture on the Internet.

The next shot is from the one thing that has sent more wedding photographers to mental institutions than anything else, the Chicken Dance.

Last, grandpa Clark discovers a dirty.

Help me make Clark famous, grab the Chicken dance picture and email it to a friend and ask them to send it on their friends and on and on. Let’s make this the hottest thing on the Web.

  2. He ought to be honored that you cared enough to come in a top off the wedding pictures that the other photog wasn’t taking. Hopefully he got a few good ones.. I’ve been in the same position and it is really tough to not jump in and club them unconscious and take over… considering you aren’t paid to be there it’s hard to do much except stay out of the way and get a few shots.

  4. In all my years of chicken dancing, I have never seen it look like the picture above! But then I think about the guy in the picture and TOTALLY understand! HAHA!

  6. New meaning to the old song “A picture’s worth a thousand words”. There are no words. Clark, hate to tell you but I’m afraid “it’s only just begun….”.
