The Truth - Dan & Claire

A thought transfixed me:

for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets,

proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers.

The truth --

that love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire.

Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry
and human thought and belief have to impart:

The salvation of man is through love and in love. 

-Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

On December 22nd 2009 my wonderful friend and former roommate Claire married the equally wonderful love of  her life Dan. They had a beautiful wedding and very classy reception to compliment the great story that is theirs.

I was honored to be asked to take some snapshots at their reception.  It was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla, CA,and was a challenge in extreme low light photography.  But with a few makeshift napkin filters and a forgiving friend who understood the limitations and gave me some artistic license we were able to get a few good ones. And, with a happy couple, a live jazz band, and a room full of people who love do dance, how could you possibly go wrong!

(Oh..and her grandmother caught the bouquet!)
