When you think about it…why aren’t more wedding/engagement photos more creative like this series done by photog Amanda Rynda? I think my wife would have been game to doing something like this back in the day if we had considered this an option.

Looks neat…my first impression was that it moved itself kinetically somehow. But no. Just a bunch of people lugging the pieces around in a very systematic fashion.

The typesetting on each article is amazingly different and interesting. And this comes just as I was about to make an excuse why I haven’t had...
