One fo the reasons I went to Buffalo last weekend was that Bill Carpenter finally caved into my incessant begging to let me carry his gear at a wedding -- and maybe pick up a hint or 1000. It surpassed my wildest expectations.
The true bonus was to spent time with Ed Goodnight and his wife Edie, and of course experiance the kind hospitality of Bill and his wife Joanne, no slouch by any means with a camera herself and really extraordinary in completing the professional photograph.
See Bill's first shot here, before the groom wanted to play too :) http://www.pbase.com/decarr/image/68993724
