I still get nervous when I do a wedding, even though I've done a few in my
time. I'm not a pro, only what they call an advanced amateur. A head and
shoulder shot of a couple I photographed a month ago appeared in the morning
paper today. No photo credits, but still fun to see my work there.
Who knows, you might want to do another one.
