Pictures from Monica and Jeff’s reception:
There are many more pictures from Monica’s wedding in the Kewer Wedding album:
It was an honor to do the wedding photography for Jeff and Monica’s big day. I thank them for giving me the privilege.
Some of the formal pictures from Jeff and Monica’s wedding.
Note the size of Monica’s family!
Before I forget, I should thank Shannon for being my photo assistant on this day.
Up next: Reception photos!!
Here are pictures from the Kewer Wedding ceremony:
Next up, the “formals”!
I did the photography for the Monica Henning-Jeff Kewerer wedding a couple Sundays back. Here are a few pictures from before the ceremony.
More images to come. Next up…. The Ceremony!
I co-hosted a Baby Shower for Baby G. with Sara a couple months back. Sara wanted a photobooth for the shower, so I made a makeshift one in her garage. It worked well enough and we were able to use the pictures in a book of baby advice for them as a present when Baby G. came into this world officially.
Here are a few other pictures from the photo booth:

Even though these pictures are only a couple of months old, they just feel really dated!
I might have to tweak the photo booth idea again in the future, but it does need quite a bit of tweaking.
Happy Birthday Logan!
Happy Birthday Derrick!
This Journal Entry also marks a milestone for Derrick. He has become the 4th person to reach triple digits in Journal Entries about them.
However, I promised 3 Happy Birthdays….
Happy Birthday Jill!
Happy Birthday Jen!
I had my, what could theoretically become, annual Birthday Barbecue on Saturday. I would like to thank all of the people that attended and made the evening special:
Next year, I will move the barbecue back to its traditional spot of the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Feel free to circle the date May 28 on your 2011 calendar that you have yet to purchase. It will perhaps be an even smaller and more intimate gathering. I might start instituting a survivor type invitation policy similar to the fashion of invites that Jay uses for Symposium.
Special thanks need to be extended to the following people:
Sara for taking the pictures for the invitations.
Sara for providing the s’mores goodies.
Jay for making three desserts: chocolate raspberry cookies, key lime bars and apple crisp.
Steve for providing homemade salsa and chips.
Becky for making a pasta salad.
Scott and Melissa for bringing a banana creme pie.
Shannon for baking a fresh rhubarb pie with rhubarb picked from my personal rhubarb patch.
Johnathan for bringing over cornhole.
Logan and Russ for running the grill.
Mom for baking a cake and creating a watermelon fruit thing.
Derrick for being the fire-starter.
Andree for being the best dressed person at the party.
Shannon for opening the party.
Willy for closing the party.
There isn’t any photographic evidence to support that this party existed. I was too busy to touch a camera and Sara didn’t take any pictures this year. Maybe next year I will add “Party Photographer” to the list of Staff positions for this shindig.
If you wish to be hired for this position (no pay, no benefits, possibly a STAFF t-shirt*) simply send the answer to the following question to bennett@photography139.com:
Why would I make an awesome Party Photographer?
I suppose I should start planning Friendsmas now. It can wait a couple of months.
*That is not a joke. There will be staff t-shirts next year.
Shakespeare warned of the Ides of March. I don’t know what he was so worked up about. Carla was born on the Ides of March. Happy Birthday Carla!
It is also Monica’s birthday. Happy Birthday Monica!
Seems strange to me that so many people would choose to be born in March.

Last week’s theme was SELF-PORTRAIT. Although there wasn’t any new people to submit pictures, there were still several submissions. I would be lying if I didn’t say that I was hoping that more men would submit pictures now and again, but we aren’t very far into this project, so maybe a few more guys will ante up in the future.
This week’s submissions:
IMAGE LOST
Julie Johnson
IMAGE LOST
Dawn Krause
IMAGE LOST
Becky Perkovich
Michael Vest
Christopher D. Bennett
Dawn’s Weekly Poem includes an Artistic Adaptation.
Self Portrait
A rose
yearning to be a daisy
vulnerable and
open for the world to seeGlass
shattered into pieces
broken, mended
brought together in new formSteel
smooth and resistant
with scars
damaged but still strongSunlight
full of hope
warming souls
joy with simple pleasure
The theme for this week is:
That is a theme that would have probably been more fun to do in the summer, but what can you do? The Random Generator has spoken!
