Revolution in military affairs
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A revolution in military affairs (RMA) is a hypothesis in military theory about the future of warfare, often connected to technological and organizational recommendations for military reform.
Broadly stated, RMA claims that in certain periods of the history of humankind, there were new military doctrines, strategies, tactics and technologies which led to an irrecoverable change in the conduct of warfare. Furthermore, those changes compel an accelerated adaptation of novel doctrines and strategies.
In the United States, RMA is often linked to discussions such as the reorganization plan of the United States Army and total systems integration.[1]
The original theorizing was done by the Soviet Armed Forces in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly by Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov.[2] The United States initially became interested in it through Andrew Marshall, the head of the Office of Net Assessment, a Department of Defense think tank. It slowly gained credence within official military circles, and other nations began exploring similar shifts in organization and technology.
Interest in RMA and the structure of future U.S. armed forces is strong within China's People's Liberation Army and it has been incorporated into China's strategic military doctrine. Many other militaries have also researched and considered RMA as an organizational concept—e.g., those of Canada, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Republic of China (Taiwan), India, Russia, and Germany—but not all militaries have adopted RMA, due to its significant infrastructure and investment costs.
Soviet views[edit]
Nikolai Ogarkov called the early idea of RMA the Military Technological Revolution (MTR). Pentagon officials in the United States changed the name of his original idea, which is how it became known as RMA.[3] Orgarkov's belief that the potential and possibility for new weapons was increasing rapidly led to the development of his initial idea.
At the time of the initial development of MTR, the Soviets anticipated that certain technologies, including energy weapons and robots, would be in use by 2015 at the latest.[3] They believed that the use of large ground forces would be minimized. In place of some ground forces, these new technologies would be implemented in order to establish dominance on the battlefield. Russians also believed that control of space would become essential for maintaining dominance in future conflicts. Soviets believed that it would be essential to control the satellite space around earth, in order to more effectively relay information. They also anticipated the ability to use space as a medium in which they could deploy weapons.[3]
Renewed interest[edit]
The United States' victory in the 1991 Gulf War renewed interest in RMA theory. In the view of RMA proponents, American dominance through superior technology emphasized how the United States' technological advances reduced the relative power of the Iraqi military, by no means a lightweight rival, to insignificance. According to Stephen Biddle, part of the growth in popularity of the RMA theory after the Gulf War was that virtually all American military experts drastically over-estimated the coalition casualty count. This led many experts to assume that their models of war were wrong—that a revolution of sorts had occurred.[4]
After the Kosovo War, in which the United States did not lose a single life, others suggested that war had become too sterile, creating a "virtual war". Furthermore, the United States' inability to capture Osama bin Laden or effectively combat the Iraqi insurgency led some to question RMA in the face of asymmetrical warfare, in which foes of the United States may increasingly engage in order to counter RMA's advantages.
In 1997, the U.S. Army mounted an exercise codenamed "Force 21", to test the application of digital technologies in warfare in order to improve communications and logistics by applying private-sector technologies adapted for military use. Specifically, it sought to increase awareness of one's position on the battlefield as well as that of the enemy, in order to achieve increased lethality, greater control of the tempo of warfare, and fewer instances of friendly fire via improved identification friend or foe.[5]
In 2002, Chris Bray described RMA as new ideas about "the use of information and automation on the battlefield" to make forces "more lethal" and "more agile."[6]
Areas of focus[edit]
One of the central problems in understanding the current debate over RMA arises from many theorists' use of the term to refer to the revolutionary technology itself, which is the driving force of change. Concurrently, other theorists tend to use the term as referring to revolutionary adaptations by military organisations that may be necessary to deal with the changes in technology. Other theorists place RMA more closely inside the specific political and economic context of globalization and the end of the Cold War.
When reviewing the gamut of theories, three fundamental versions of RMA come to the forefront. The first perspective focuses primarily upon changes in the nation-state and the role of an organised military in using force. This approach highlights the political, social, and economic factors worldwide, which might require a completely different type of military and organisational structure to apply force in the future.
Authors such as the RAND Corporation's Sean J. A. Edwards (advocate of BattleSwarm tactics, a type of military swarming), Carl H. Builder and Lt. Col. Ralph Peters emphasized the decline of the nation-state, the nature of the emerging international order, and the different types of forces needed in the near future.
The second perspective—most commonly assigned the term RMA—highlights the evolution of weapons technology, information technology, military organization, and military doctrine among advanced powers. This "System of Systems" perspective on RMA has been ardently supported by Admiral William Owens, former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who identified three overlapping areas for force assets. These are intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, command, control, communications and intelligence processing, which allows for the use of precision force.
Advanced versions of RMA incorporate other sophisticated technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), nanotechnology, robotics, and biotechnology. Recently, the RMA debate focussed on "network-centric warfare" which is a doctrine that aims to connect all troops on the battlefield.
Finally, the third concept is that a "true" revolution in military affairs has not yet occurred or is unlikely to. Authors such as Michael E. O'Hanlon and Frederick Kagan, point to the fact much of the technology and weapons systems ascribed to the contemporary RMA were in development long before 1991 and the Internet and information technology boom.
Several critics point out that a "revolution" within the military ranks might carry detrimental consequences, produce severe economic strain, and ultimately prove counterproductive. Such authors tend to profess a much more gradual "evolution" in military affairs, as opposed to a rapid revolution.
Precision attack[edit]
This section is written like a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay that states a Wikipedia editor's personal feelings or presents an original argument about a topic. (May 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In considering the implications of precision attack, it is clear that precision weapons, when coupled to recent developments in aerospace, have transformed warfare, and as a result, the question is not that "Does an RMA exist?" rather, "When did it begin, and what are its implications?" Tied to this are surprisingly persistent questions about the use and value of air power, now more accurately seen as aerospace power. If nothing else, given the record of precision air power application, aerospace power advocates should not still have to spend as much time as they do arguing the merits of three-dimensional war and precision attack's value to it. Modern joint service aerospace forces offer the most responsive, flexible, lethal, and devastating form of power projection across the spectrum of conflict, employing a range of aerospace weaponry such as maritime patrol aircraft, attack and troop-lift helicopters, land-based long-range aircraft, and battlefield rocket artillery systems. Service-specific aerospace power can often be formidable and, as such, has transformed conflict from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and has changed the critical focus of conflict from that of seizing and holding to one of halting and controlling.
In reviewing a few points from the military history of the 20th century, within roughly a decade of the first flight of an airplane, aircraft were having an occasionally decisive effect on the battlefield. Within four decades, a nation—Great Britain—secured its national survival through air warfare. By the midst of the Second World War, three-dimensional attack (from above and below the surface) had become the primary means of sinking both vessels at sea and destroying the combat capability of armies on land. In fact, for the United States, this trend of inflicting losses and material destruction primarily through air attack continued after the second world war for Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Bosnia, and other, lesser, conflicts. In particular, air attack directed against land forces has been especially powerful in blunting and destroying opponents on the offensive, whether in older experience—such as confronting Rommel in the Western Desert, or Nazi armored forces trying to split the Normandy invasion at Mortain, or at the Bulge (where German commanders credited Allied fighter attacks on fuel trucks and supplies as being the decisive factor in halting their drive), in the opening and closing stages of the Korean War, and confronting the 1972 North Vietnamese Spring Invasion—or, more recently, in destroying the Khafji offensive of Saddam Hussein in 1991. NATO's reliance upon air power in the Yugoslav Wars was not surprising because from the very earliest days, the NATO alliance saw air power as the linchpin of Western military strength and the necessary offset to the Warsaw Pact's huge military forces.
Given its historical underpinnings, we should not be surprised that the revolution in warfare that has been brought about both by the confluence of the aerospace and the electronic revolutions, and by the offshoot of both—the precision guided munition—is one that has been a long time coming, back to the Second World War, back, even, to the experimenters of the First World War who attempted, however crudely, to develop "smart" weapons to launch from airships and other craft. Used almost experimentally until the latter stages of the Vietnam War, the precision weapon since that time has increasingly come to first influence, then dominate, and now perhaps to render superfluous, the traditional notion of a linear battlefield.
The revolution of military affairs is the inclusion and expansion of new technology—e.g., drones, satellite imaging, and remotely operated vehicles—within current military tactics. RMA has generally been praised for its ability to reduce casualty rates and facilitate intelligence gathering. On the other hand, some critics argue that RMA serves to further dissociate soldiers from the horrific realities of warfare, while others maintain that RMA restricts the overall understanding of warfare and its dynamics.[7] Scholars recommend gaining a critical understanding of RMA before implementing it.
Operation Desert Storm is considered the first major global conflict successfully implementing RMA and is considered a paragon of future military operations due to the low casualty rate and the U.S. military's speed and precision. On the other hand, others claim that RMA technology severely inhibited the U.S. military's ability to respond to guerrilla tactics and that efforts to incorporate advanced weapons like Patriot missiles were unsuccessful.[7] Indeed, a number of epistemological issues have cropped up.
In the wake of RMA technologies such as drones, unmanned ground vehicles, and clean bombs there are several concerns about the distancing and disassociation that eclipse the realities of war. An analysis of tactical strikes reveals that while the number of ones own soldiers may be preserved as the number of long-range attacks increases, so does collateral damage.[7] Furthermore, by removing the soldier-on-soldier element of warfare, the natural reactions and consequences of wartime actions are impacted, which has been frequently referred to as the removal of humanity from war. RMA technological advances have resulted in a dehumanizing of warfare, which negatively effects the decisions made by officers, as well as individuals in the field.[7] Another critique argues that RMA's good intentions notwithstanding, the resulting collateral damage is unacceptable and thus urges more careful consideration in incorporating RMA technology.[7]
Stephen Biddle's 2004 book, Military Power: Explaining Victory and Defeat in Modern War, discounts the idea of RMA. He argues that military doctrine and tactics are far more important to battle outcomes in modern warfare than is technological progress, and that basic doctrine has changed little since the second half of World War I.[8]

H2O Innovation commissions pathfinding Indian membrane plant
Canada's H2O Innovation announced on 31 January 2011 that its Indian joint venture, H2O Innovation India Ltd, had commissioned the 7,000 m³/d membrane water treatment system it had designed for Larsen & Toubro Heavy Engineering (L&T) in Gujarat state.The company designed, assembled, and installed the plant for L&T's nuclear forging facility in Hazira, Surat Metropolitan Region.
Combining state-of-the-art ultrafiltration UF) and reverse-osmosis (RO) technologies, this water treatment and reuse system is unique in India. The Tapi river water purified by the plant is then used as process water for the steel forging facility, but subsidiary treatment systems have also been provided for steam boilers, compressors and cooling towers.
The H20 Innovation system's global recovery rate reaches 90%, which reduces losses in this arid region of India. The system uses Amiad automatic pre-filters, Dow PVDF UF membranes and Hydranautics high-tech ESPA2-LD RO membranes with low fouling potential.
As well as occupying limited space thanks to its integrated and optimized design, the system provides a quiet operation. In order to reduce noise produced by the system, H 2O Innovation India's and L&T's engineers have installed the feed and recirculation pumps below ground level - a novel practice in India.
"We are very proud that H2O Innovation India has commissioned this world-class water treatment system for Larsen & Toubro, a most admired Indian company", stated Guillaume Clairet, vice president, strategic business development of H2O Innovation. "I am really grateful to L&T's managers who have not hesitated to trust us from the beginning.
"The technology transfer between H2O Innovation and our Indian joint-venture has been instrumental for the execution of this project, and it will remain a key factor for our future achievements in India."

Sweating A Lot: What Is The Disease?
Sweating is the normal excretion of the body, but if you sweat more than usual, beware of the following two diseases. Early detection for treatment is needed.
Is sweating a lot dangerous?
Sweating is a normal manifestation of human metabolism, basically everyone can sweat in many different conditions, some people sweat a lot in the summer, but also there is a sweat in the winter weather. In winter, the rate of sweat is usually less due to cold weather, less exercise. However, in some people, the body has weakened or the kidneys are weakened, so it may still be sweating more or less in the cold season.
Some people, regardless of summer or winter, have a symptom of sweating while eating, does this have any problems?
According to health experts on the Family Doctor Channel (China), sweating is a normal secretion of the body, which in some respects has good health benefits. In the process of sweating, the body will increase excretion. However, if sweating while eating is beneficial? Please refer to the following important information.
In fact, if you sweat more than the average person, then surely it cannot be normal. Some people experience symptoms of sweating during meals or during periods of stress, doctors call hyperhidrosis – sweating a lot.
Sweating a lot (hyperhidrosis) is considered a kind of illness, when the body feels uncomfortable, sweating will arise, so if you suffer from hyperhidrosis, or your loved ones have this symptom, be careful that it is a disease that needs any treatments.
Causes of hyperhidrosis
Low blood sugar
Low blood sugar, hypoglycemia or low blood glucose levels is also a common disease with many people.
In fact, people who have a habit of not having breakfast in the long time can also lead to low blood sugar. Although this is a mild form of disease, because the blood sugar level is low, it is only temporary, if added immediately after that, the blood glucose level backs to normal.
Low blood sugar occurs mainly in people who are physically weak, have insufficient blood, pale skin and face. In this case, they are very susceptible to sweating a lot, the body lacks vitality, breathe in the tired status.
In cases the blood sugar levels drop too low, it can lead to dizziness and fainting. If you are in this group, be sure to bring along a small amount of sweets or chocolates when you feel that your body is not healthy or in a state of inadequacy, you should eat sweets immediately. After eating, dizziness and hypoglycemia will decrease.
Hyperthyroidism is a common thyroid disease, mainly caused by thyroid hormone disorders. Its main characteristic is heat intolerance, sweating, and extreme discomfort, mood swings, unstable mood, insomnia, poor mental state, affecting your work and life.
Sweating is the normal secretion of the body during metabolism, but if you sweat a lot, especially sweating while eating, both summer and winter, then you are careful.

(0) OBVIOUSLY use unique passwords in every instance. (Use LASTPASS, ROBOFORM, or KEYPASS to remember the UNIMPORTANT ones. Do you care if someone can "share" your PORN stash. (Like I'd EVER have porn. You can catch a case of the computer equivalent of a social disease — malware, virus, or data leak. I think the real kind MIGHT be easier to cure.)
(1) Never STORE financial passwords anywhere, but in your head. (And, in a sealed envelope, located in your bank safe deposit box, for your executor.) Never ever! (If you have more than 5 ± 2, you have too many accounts.) Sorry guys, I don't even trust my most TRUSTED vendors. (Fact of life. Don't trust. You won't be disappointed.)
(2) If you do STORE a profile somewhere, ALWAYS use your real birthday ± 1. (It'll be our little joke. Play along with all the FACEBOOK birthday wishes. Your real life fans will enjoy the joke. You DO have real life friends; don't you? So sad if you don't. You can link to me. I have very few — hi oldest, older, and just plain old!)
(3) If you do STORE — obviously not USE — a credit card number, ALWAYS do a typo with the "secret number" and add ± 1 to the last digit. (Then when someone has a security breech, they have your garbage.)
(4) If you do STORE an address for your self, put a typo somewhere so you know who to blame. (Personally I like middle name. "Hi, I'm F. 37 REINKE.")
(5) If you can and it's not needed for credit, add ± 1 to your SSN. ("Oh, sorry, I made an oopsie.")
(6) ALWAYS mess with the secondary authentication questions. But do it in a consistent manner! ("Where were you born?" "Bayonne158" That's Our Girl's and her favorite number.) Caveat: Three sites — CAREMARK CVS, PAYTRUST, BOA — make you remember it from time to time. (If I forget, there is always "call one 800 outsourced service desk". Reset them to colors. Then go in and immediately change them.) I always record my answers in LASTPASS ± 1. A great tool.

People living in warmer climates or who spend a lot of time outdoors may enjoy the pleasure and benefits of the sunshine. However, over time exposure to the sun's rays can leave the skin vulnerable to developing certain types of malignant skin cancers.
Skin cancer is a deadly disease in which malignant cells form in the tissues of the skin. It typically occurs on the visible outer layer (epidermis) in sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, arms, and legs. Ultraviolet radiation (UV-rays), present in sunshine or tanning beds triggers mutations or genetic defects that lead the skin cells to multiply and form malignant tumors.
The majority of skin cancers fall into one of three following categories:
- Basal cell carcinoma comes from the basal cells in the lowest part of the epidermis (the majority of skin cancers).
- Squamous cell carcinoma comes from keratinocytes, the skin cells that make up the top layers of the skin.
- Melanoma comes from pigment-creating skin cells called melanocytes. Although less prevalent, melanoma is the most dangerous, rapidly spreading type of skin cancer.
Skin cancer is quite easy to detect with regular skin examinations, which increases the chance of early treatment. The goal is to intervene early and prevent further spreading of cancer cells to other tissues of the body. At Levy Dermatology, we recommend monthly self-examinations. Feel free to refer to our skin self-exam video.
We recommend a doctor perform annual skin-examinations, but more frequent checks are necessary if you have a family history of skin cancer or a previous diagnosis. Be sure to tell your doctor about any unusual skin changes or lesions.
If you have basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, at Levy Dermatology we specialize in removing your cancer with Mohs Micrographic Surgery. With this highly-specialized technique, cancer cells can be removed one layer at a time while preserving healthy tissue.
Moh's surgery is performed under local anesthesia (lidocaine) by an accredited dermatologist who will numb and remove the visible tumor. A thin layer of skin is then removed with a scalpel and examined under a microscope. If further cancer cells are present, another layer is removed, and this process continues until cancer cells are no longer present.
Careful reconstruction and repair are customized to your specific wound usually on the same day as your surgery.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery offers the highest cure rate (up to 99%), lowest chance of re-growth, and minimizes the potential for scarring or disfigurement.
To learn more about treating basal cell carcinoma with Mohs Micrographic Surgery, please schedule your consultation by either filling out the form on this page or by calling Levy Dermatology, serving Memphis & Collierville at (901) 295-0183. We look forward to working with you!

Is an NBC spoiler apology enough to get Olympics fans to forgive and forget? In the heat of a major gold medal error, the peacock is in hot water over Missy Franklin footage that had a false start.
NBC's spoiler apology may be too little too late. Unfortunately for the network, footage taken of Missy Franklin after her gold medal win, prize treasure in hand, went live before the actual airing of the race. Major oops.
NBC is earning its own gold medal in sports broadcast failure via a promo for a Today episode set to air Thursday morning, in which swimmer Missy Franklin is shown clutching her gold medal and celebrating victory with her parents. What added fuel to the fire started by the imagery alone? This voice-over narration:
"When you're 17 years old and win your first gold medal, there's nobody you'd rather share it with… We're there when Missy Franklin and her parents reunite. A Today exclusive — live from London. Tomorrow."
Michael Phelps vs. Ryan Lochte: Who's the hotter swimmer? >>
All would have been well and good, as Missy Franklin certainly deserves congratulations from her home country, but Summer Olympics swimming fans are raving mad to have her win revealed before the 100-meter backstroke was even televised!
Presumably tucking their tail-feathers between their legs in shame, the peacock network is now trying to assure viewers it won't happen again.
77-year-old watches as Michael Phelps breaks her record >>
NBC's spoiler apology explains in a statement:
"Clearly that promo should not have aired at that time. We have a process in place and this will not happen again. We apologize to viewers who were watching and didn't know the result of the race."
One lone bright spot in the Olympic-sized slip-up? Missy Franklin's gold medal win won't soon be forgotten!
Considering NBC's spoiler apology, admitting its epic-sized mistake, can you forgive and forget?

Day Trading
The buying and selling of financial instruments within a day with the goal of making a profit is called day trading.
Forex Trading
Forex trading is the trading of one currency against another.
CFD stands for Contract For Difference. It is a contact between two parties in which the seller will pay to the buyer the difference of the current asset value and its value at contract time.
Binary Options Trading
In finance a Binary Option (contract) is an option where the buyer/owner will pay a fixed amount for an underlying service or asset.
Social Trading
In the same way that social media connects people from all over the world, social trading allows one trader to copy the trades of more successful trades from around the world.
Day Trading carries a risk of capital loss.

Jim's Austrians v. Mike's French
Each army has two infantry divisions & a cavalry division. One infantry div each started on the table - Austrians in the village. The other divs are to arrive like FOW reserves (on throwing a 5, 1 dice first turn, 2 second, etc.). Their entry point also is decided by a dice: 1 = 18" down left flank, 6 = 18" down right flank, 2-5 at intervals along the long edge.
Both French reserves arrived on their second turn - their cavalry on their extreme right, their 2nd infantry. The Austrian infantry arrived on their turn 2 - also on this flank.
The random deployment gave both sides something to think about & a chance to win. The Austrians were more spread out, but had the village to defend. While the French took it they lost heavily in doing so & the fresh 2nd Austrian infantry div might have turned thing around had their cavalry not let their side down. This was a fine demonstration that a battle doesn't have to big to be enjoyable.

I photographed the event last year and Dr. Britt specifically requested me to shoot this year's dinner. It is a lot of meet and greet photography but I hustle to keep up with all of the folks. Dr. Britt is an absolute pleasure to work with and before I left that evening he invited me to photograph the 2015 dinner. I will be there and I look forward to it.
Congressman Scott and Dr. Britt
That weekend I was off to photograph Jess and Brian's wedding at the Apple Blossom Plantation in Providence Forge, VA. Peggy, the owner, was wonderful to work with and she has a fantastic venue. The house has one of the most spacious bridal suites I've ever worked in.
I shot their engagement session earlier in the year and I had an absolute blast working with Jess and Brian on their wedding day! When you combine a lovely venue, a wonderful coordinator, and an awesome couple like Jess and Brian...you can't help but have a great day as a photographer!
Jess and Brian had a handfasting ceremony
I have a great shot of the Jess and Brian at this gate and blogger.com, for some reason, has lightened my shadows to make it look HDR-ish. I'm not sure why, because it is lit the same as the shot above. I'm not going to post it since blogger is making a good photo look terrible.
One of those little moments between moments!
Former Senator Snowe talks with former Newport News Mayor Joe Frank
They also took a moment for a photo with one of the staff members.
After a busy few weeks and several more coming up, I decided to take a day off. There was some surf coming in and I decided to take a trip down to Oregon Inlet, NC before the fall temperatures moved in. The surf was closed out. So what do surfers, who are also photographers, do then? We take photos...
Shane getting shots before the section closed out.
Harmony Hall in Middletown, Pa, another lovely venue, was where they had their reception.
Frank (just out of frame) really made the above image happen! He stood on the edge of the rocks, lifted the veil over his head, and then jumped off the rocks as the veil drifted down. We probably did this a half a dozen times to get this one frame. Another great couple to work with! A side note: the shadows are darker than they appear here. Blogger apparently doesn't like my blacks being black.
Then it was back home to Virginia and catch up on editing for the rest of the week. The following Saturday I shot Jackie and Matthew's wedding in Suffolk, VA. I shot their engagement session on the Eastern Shore back in May. We had a good time working with them then and the same was true for their wedding day.
After the ceremony and the family photos were finished, the three of us were on the grounds doing shots of the two of them. The venue's coordinator relayed a message to us that we needed to wrap up in five minutes. I checked the time on my watch, the itinerary, and with Jackie and Matt. According to all of them we still had fifteen minutes to shoot before they were scheduled to be announced into the reception. So I relayed a message back. We would be finished in just under fifteen minutes. So we moved on and took a few more photos.
Five minutes later another message was relayed to us. We needed to wrap up immediately. Then something hit me. The same situation, I was unnecessarily hurried along, happened when I was here a couple of years earlier.
I relayed a message back; we were on time, we still had ten minutes left, and I suggested rounding up the bridal party in the meantime. The last spot I wanted to shoot Jackie and Matt was just outside the doors that led to the area where they were to be announced. I'd scouted it and planned it as a good ending point.
I was explaining to Jackie and Matt what I was thinking about for this last shot and out comes the coordinator who said sharply, "We're ready for you now."
I looked at my watch and said, "We're just going to do this last one shot and we'll still be done ahead of schedule."
"We're ready now" she replied.
"We just want to do this one last shot and we're done." I didn't want Jackie and Matt to feel rushed or anxious because we were actually doing great on time.
So, Jackie and Matt made their way to a fire escape on the building next door and I reiterated the pose we talked about. The coordinator called out, "You can't go up there. That isn't part our facility. That's private property! "
Jackie and Matt stopped short of the fire escape and I said, "They'll be there for sixty seconds. Come on, no one is going to call the police on a bride and groom on their wedding day."
In a tone a mother would use to threaten her children into obedience she yelled, "No! Absolutely not! You're trespassing! You are not going up there!"
I was stunned. Shocked actually. She yelled at us. I've never seen anyone treat a couple, who is also a client, like that on their wedding day. I looked at Jackie and Matt and said, "We're good with what we have so far and we have some night shots coming up. Let's get you two inside to have some fun."
A little while later I caught up with Jackie. I said, "Wow! Could you believe that? I thought she was going to tell us we were grounded by the way she was yelling." We had a good laugh about it. Then I told her if they were up for it, we'd sneak out and try to get at shot or two anyway. They agreed and we did.
From the reaction you would have thought we planned to be several stories up on a fire escape and dangling off the building. Nope, this was it. Pretty harmless. We were like three little kids sneaking around. We even had someone as a look out so we didn't get trouble. I got three quick shots and it took thirty seconds. Initially I wanted them to embrace, not hold the railing, but the three of us were more concerned about "getting caught" a second time than making the photo.
I've shot couples in places where we "weren't supposed to be" in the past. I've never had an issue. Back in May, a newlywed couple and I took over a service elevator for ten minutes to shoot and no one cared. I would never intentionally put a bride and groom in danger to make an image. I walked up that same fire escape the day before to check the sturdiness of the stairs, railings, and platform. It was safe and, yes, it was private property.
Everyone has a bad day and I totally understand that. It is not my intention is not to put anyone down, just to tell the story of what happened and what led to that image. As I told Jackie later that night, this will be a story I will be telling for years to come because it was so shocking and what we did was so harmless. Here's a shot from the end of the night...
The next day I had an engagement session with Jamie and Chris in Williamsburg, VA. I had fun working with them!
We did a few shots in the garden of the William and Mary president's home. After the situation the night before, I asked Jamie if it was okay to go in there. She said, "Sure, I don't see why not." That was good enough for me. The house is among a number of properties that are part of Colonial Williamsburg where tourists come and go regularly. Had she not told me whose house it was I wouldn't have thought twice. As we were taking a few last shots, the president walked past and into his house. He never said a word.
It was getting dark and I wanted to try one last thing.
Hampton, VA was one of seven cities where the foundation sent the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus and conducted a Best Cities for Music Education forum. Monday, six Hampton students climbed aboard the state-of-the-art mobile audio/HD video recording and production studio to write and record an original song.
Tuesday I photographed the community forum and the foundation presented Hampton City Schools with a variety of new equipment. Later that day, groups of students were given tours of the bus and had an opportunity to play with some of the gear.
Later that week I photographed two homes for Wayne Harbin Builder, Inc. They do beautiful work!
The weekend was now upon me and I had two soccer matches to shoot. You never know what you are going to get when you photograph little ones playing sports and it is always fun!
Luke hanging with the coach, who is also his father.
Then I shot his older brother's match.
That evening I had an engagement session with Kait and Nick in Newport News. They were a great couple to work with and made a long day of shooting feel effortless.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. As you saw, I had a lot going on and this month flew by. I have a ton of work to get out to these folks, so I'm going to get back to editing. See you next month!
