I am a little behind in the blogging department.  Recently I was out in Halifax and was hired by one of my best friends to shoot his wedding.  It was let in the heritage town of Lunenburg.  Man what I town!   The photo possibilities were endless.  It was a overcast day with a bit of rain.  This brought out the rich colours of the town.  I got to stay with them for a few days prior to the wedding and I have to say, Mike you have just an awesome person to call your wife!  

I have known Mike since living in our small town of Elkford, B.C.  I have to say if I had a brother it would be him.  It was an honour to photograph such a great day for him and Andrea.  

I would like to share a poem Mike gave me which sums up our friendship:

The Thousandth Man ONE man in a thousand, Solomon says. Will stick more close than a brother. And it's worth while seeking him half your days If you find him before the other. Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend On what the world sees in you,  But the Thousandth Man will stand your friend  With the whole round world agin you. 'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show  Will settle the finding for 'ee.  Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go By your looks, or your acts, or your glory. But if he finds you and you find him,  The rest of the world don't matter;  For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim  With you in any water. You can use his purse with no more talk  Than he uses yours for his spendings,  And laugh and meet in your daily walk  As though there had been no lendings. Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call  For silver and gold in their dealings;  But the Thousandth Man he's worth 'em all Because you can show him your feelings. His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right, In season or out of season. Stand up and back it in all men's sight With that for your only reason! Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide The shame or mocking or laughter, But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side To the gallows-foot - and after! Cheers to Mike and Andrea!
