Day 23

More might be coming :)

Firstly congrats on the wedding - clearly I missed the party! Sorry about that.

These look like the right hands - is that right (pun unintended and not even funny. Actually now it is :))

Just interested.

Congratulations on your marriage.

Congratulations on the wedding mate.
Thank you :)

Thank you as well :)
Yes, we wear them on our right hands. I don't know if it's the right way... It's right for us though :)
Generally we haven't followed too many traditions of what is right or wrong for this ceremony. I think from our perspective, if it feels good for us, then it will make for a happy marriage :)

I''m interested in hearing you view on the left/right hand issue :) Too be honest I have heard arguments for both hands, but don't really know what's THE right way

Think the original theory was the left hand and a finger that had a direct connection to the heart :D

I think some people move it to the right hand if there partner dies,when they feel ready to move on but not to lose all connection,not sure about gay marriages we have quiet a few gay friends but none are married

I'm pretty sure that that is the idea that is the base of the reason to wear the band on the left hand. However the notion of the wedding as a romantic institution is a rather new idea. Before love entered the stage in this question, marriage was more of a social (and religious) contract uniting families by vows of commitment. This is more or less what today could be described as "arranged marriage". Although we don't, for most parts, see this as a positive thing in the west, this has been the prevailing factor throughout the history of humankind. The reason for wearing the band on the right hand, for us, is that you make deals and commitments with the handshake of your right hand, so the ring becomes a symbol of the commitments we have made to each other to love and care for eachother for the rest of our lives.
Now, although love is the one and only reason for my wife and I to be together, and we indeed love each other very deeply, the marriage in itself is not, for us, a deciding factor for our love. Love would, so to speak, be there whether we were married or not.

Please do not get me wrong. I find both ways of wearing the ring as being equally right. It's just that for me and my wife, we find the one way to suit our point of view better.

Re: nidding's first year of shooting

I scared the living daylights out of my wife,she had been divorced for 15 years when we started seeing each other my first wife and i never got married and had 30 great years together,this made nancy think i was a safe bet to not want to marry,she had quiet a bad time with her first husband and had been left with four children and no support from him,she was horrified when i said i wanted to get married.
I do agree though its nothing to do with the ceremony its the commitment of two people to each other that makes a marriage.

We got ours on the right hand too - I think (but not sure now) I saw the danish queen doing the same, I thought she ought to know, lol...

Day 25
Today I have taken it upon me to dedicate the next month for my brand new 35 :D

So NO changing lenses!
I'm looking forward to get to know this lens :)
For now it seems like an awesome lens. Especially taking the price into account.

I don't know why, but these leaves actually had that purple colour.


This is a local kindergarden


And this is what I found when I went to the park to photograph the pond. Seems like it had been emptied of water and bicycled :)

Day 26


The green on the last one looks very different on my different monitors, so I'm not quite sure if I overdid it...
