I used to write things--funny things, controversial things, and boring things. Maybe I'll start again soon (minus the controversial things), but for today you only get pictures.
Wendy's brother Craig is getting married, and we are all, in the words of my generation, super stoked. His fiance Karly is a great person, a lot of fun to be around, and quite easy on the eyes. Way to go, Craigy.
Like me, Craig likes to fiddle around with photography, and unlike me, Craig has an enviable collection of lenses, lights, umbrellas, and a great camera to go with them. Since he found it difficult to be both the photographer and subject in his engagement photos, he asked me to take their pictures for them, and I had a great time. Never mind that handling his camera makes mine feel like it must have cost 500 carnival tickets, I had a lot of fun, and I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Here are a few of my favorites, which of course were made better by Craig's post processing magicianism.





You've stumbled upon the blog of Paul Malan. I love my family, I love to write, I love to ride my bikes, and I love to take pictures. Maybe someday I'll think of something clever or arresting to say right here.
seriously, some great shots. From my generation to yours: Awesome, dude!!
