PRECIOUS JUSTICE?
The Hawaii Wedding of Justus and Kaye

So what in the world is "Precious Justice" you ask? Well, you got me. At the moment I think it's an oxymoron because I got a speeding ticket last month, cruising casually through one of those speed traps, and I did not get any favor from the courts when I wrote in my mitigating experience. In my sick conclusion, there may not be such thing as "Precious Justice" but there could be such a thing as Precious and Justus.

Precious is the last name of Kaye, my featured bride of the hour, and Justus, is the name my featured groom of the hour. By the way, Justus is not a typo. It's actually a play on words. Justus' mom was a single mother, and named him Justus, because it was "Just us." Pretty neat huh. They had been together for six years before deciding to take the plunge. They got hitched alone on the beach, here on Oahu.

Justus and Kaye are a cool couple and simple. They booked the eloping package with me, added an extra roll of film, and just added a few leis. They didn't though, decide to have those rolls of film scanned. So being that I had just purchased my G10 digital snapshot camera, they were cool enough to let me practice a handful of shots on them after I finished shooting my rolls of film. All the pictures here are snapped on my G10. Not too shabby.

The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades...also taken on my G10

To date, I have shot four or five weddings with my G10, all with patriot package. Now, I'm confident enough to shoot everything on manual on the G10, and can easily replicate the quality in each picture. Digital though, is still not as good as film. It really isn't...I wish it were, because it's kinda cool to see what you have when you shoot it. But even that preview screen is not a great representation of the quality you will get when you print those shots out. The LCD screen on digital cameras are contasty, sharp, and colorful, but the actual digital image is not. So in post production, you have to adjust the contrast, add color, sharpen the picture, just to come close to what film can deliver naturally or what you see on that preview screen.

Justus, Kaye, thanks for being patient with me as fooled around with my new digital toy. Stay super cool.
