I keep returning to this image as my favorite of the month, so it would be fun to restart the series, examining how I captured the image and why I like it. I’ve always been intrigued by the decisive moments, the idea coined by Henri Cartier-Bresson. I didn’t start to grasp the concepts of the…

This image is from four beautiful days spent with Imran and Mehr in Houston. This image is my photo of the month.

Sarah and Derek’s wedding was at the historic and ornate San Fernando Cathedral, and the wedding reception followed at The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas. Yes, it did rain. Hard. But not until the evening. And it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day! I know it’s true as I read it…
