- Dry Your Eyes


2007 Fave - Dry Your Eyes, originally uploaded by jigarchamp.

After the wedding ceremony, the bride was saying goodbye to her family (called a Vidaii in Hindu tradition). This is one of my faves because for this brief moment, it was just a father and his daughter...the people around them didn't matter.

Just going through a bunch of photos from the past year, this one always makes me pause and go back to the moment.

I think about what I was thinking as a photographer: This kind of moment is what a wedding photographer should love to capture. How can I stop this moment without getting in the way, etc, etc.

I think about the bride and what her father are going through especially in this situation where she will be living half a continent away.
