Things that go JUMP in the night
Wedding weekend, part II.
Years ago, when I lived in Washington, DC, I started taking pictures of friends in the dark. To my recollection, the first time was one night we had been BBQ-ing in the late afternoon and evening at some picninc grounds alongside the Potomac River. When it turned dark I kept taking pictures around the picnic table and from behind the camera was able to see the exact moment that was caught on film as it was lit by the flash. Eventually I set up the camera with a self-timer and flash, and when the flash light would start blinking we would ready ourselves to jump and try to be in the air when the flash went off. This was way before digital photography, so we didn't know what we'd caught on film until days or weeks later when the processed film returned as prints.
I resurrected this experiment the night of the rehearsal dinner at the McAvoy's house. Tracey, Maureen and Brett's kids were all willing participants, although at first they didn't know what they were agreeing to. They still sort of don't, because I am only now posting the results!! (I am sure that procrastination is a genetically determined trait. Cough*Ken Spencer*Cough. :)
