Great, great photos, Jamie! I'm really impressed.
Ivygirl is upset because it is so hard to view them at home on our dial-up - takes forever to load. So I'm bringing her up to my work on Saturday so she can see the slideshow of your whole album here off the T-1 line.

First of all, Jamie you're hired. I want you and you only to take pictures when Phil and I get married. While I don't know exactly when that will be, I do know that Phil will agree with me.
Second, you left your 20 sided die in the trunk of my car. Took me a while to figure out where it came from.
Lastly, I would really like to have copies of a few of those photos and I don't trust Phil's printer to do them any justice. Tell me what I need to do to get them from you.

If it's a deep blue, it's mine. I can't find it.
Nikki (crap, how do you spell it?), I'd love to do your wedding photos. As for getting printed pics, I can do them for you, I just have to double check with Bob and Dana. I mean, they paid me for the job, so I'm not certain how it all works. I haven't a clue, actually. Someone MUST know.
Fugu? Farmgirl?
Once we know, then I'm totally up for getting 'em to you. Just email me with which ones and sizes.

I'd give them a standard assortment of basic pics (a handful of small ones of each of three pics, a handful of medium sized ones of different pics, two smallish large pics, and one big pic of the happy couple), and let the rest be ordered ala carte, with the cost being your cost plus a small surcharge per pic for the time you take in preparing it for printing (cropping so the aspect ratio works, for instance), which should be greater the greater the amount of time you need to spend involved in the printing. Say 15% at minimum, maybe more like 20%.
I'm not a fan of letting go of control of the negatives (well, what negatives there are), that also loses you artistic control. Not that it would be too big a deal with Bob'n'Dana, but some people would get crappy prints and blame your photography. In the case of digital photographs, you're going to want to add a watermark to the larger resolutions you let people look at online, in the future, to prevent such activity (this can be done automagically, of course).
Plus, these are a revenue base from you, and you do own the copyright. Its reasonable you control the copying. Give discounts for popular/standard packages of prints, of course.

I think that most of the exciting stories have already been covered. Did anyone mention that interesting cafe we went to on Saturday morning? They had a wall full of shelves of alcohol, and AJ was kind enough to give us all a great deal of information about the various brands and kinds. The cafe also had quite a bit of musical equipment, so it is probably a pretty fun place at night. Also, they had good sandwiches.
I sat by the Meeses during the service. Before the service started, Mooselet gave me a hug and told me I looked pretty. I'm pretty sure that drops of my melted heart are still under a pew somewhere. Moosie and Mama Squirrel, you have an adorable family. Mooselet is already breaking girls' hearts, and it looks like Superstation was having a good time flirting with Sophie.
Sophie, by the way, is every bit as cute and intelligent as the Davidsons have made her out to be. Yaaaaaay Sophie! *claps*
Thank you ElJay and Punwit, for coming to pick me up at the airport. Also, thanks for the extra scenic tour of the area, ElJay!
Stray, I just have to say that I thought your self-patterning yarn was about the coolest thing ever. I might have to take up knitting just so I can watch it in action.
Mackillian, I have been awaiting every new batch of pictures with great anticipation. Thanks for sharing them with us--you have a great eye for beauty.
Thanks for rooming with me, Rivka! You were a great roommate.
BannaOJ, Kat, Frisco, ElJay and Fugu, I enjoyed the wrestling match/talking/lying around. Remind me never to get in a fight with either ElJay or Frisco. I'll either end up getting bitten or shoved headfirst off of a bed.
Icarus and Cor, the little last minute meeting at the airport was fun! Thanks for coming to look for me.
Meeting everyone was great. I would have loved to stay another few days, or weeks. Hatrackers really are an amazing bunch. I'll stay up late talking to any one of you, anytime.

We didn't make enough of an impact on Amy to get mentioned in her post!
mack - I have no idea -- I have photographed some weddings in the past, but gave all rights and negatives to the couple for two reasons 1)I didn't want to mess with re-orders, enlargements, etc. 2)they were usually people who couldn't afford REAL photographers - so if they wanted to get their reprints at Wal-Mart, so be it (at least I wouldn't be around to cringe at the results). I think that would be totally up to the Scopatzs' (how do you plural Scopatz?) as to who gets rights.
Nicole -- I had no idea you and Phil weren't already married! (that's what I get for assuming, right)? Well - when you do -- be sure to invite all of us. It would be great fun!

No, but she sprained his wrist and drew blood with her nails and pushed him off the bed onto his head. I'm convinced there is plenty of meaness to go around.

I so totally did not sprain his wrist. He was just being a baby. And if he would have let go of me when I asked him to, there would have been no nails involved.
I do take full responsibility for pushing him off the bed, though.

That'd make a great plot for a True Confessionals fanfic. "My Klingon Love Child," or some such.

Oh, I still have to check out the pics I took of the pile o' hatrackers on my bed, too.
While getting ready for work, I just discovered a HUGE bruise that I'm sure I could blame Frisco for, as I can't imagine how I would have gotten it if it wasn't when we were roughhousing, but it's not exactly in a place that I'm willing to post a picture of online, so I guess I'm just going to have to lose out on the sympathy. *sigh* Oh well.

I am beginning to be more and more glad that I tossed y'all out when I did. Klutz that I am, I manage enough scratches and bruises without any help!
Although it might have been fun to watch . . .

mack, you still haven't sent me your address, for the stuff from Ben. Of course, I still haven't talked to Mike & Patty, but I was kinda waiting for your address first...

Plaid, you say you got the pics back, so I'm assuming not digital? If so, do we have a volunteer to scan and post?
