Wedding night wine glass still-life

This isn’t the first time I’ve shot glass in still-life, and it probably won’t be the last.

We were at a wedding, and I’m reasonably sure the bartender thought I was insane as I took out my smartphone and quickly composed the shot.

I smiled that same smile I’ve used so often previously - where I try to telegraph in body language that I hope no one calls in the bouncers on me - and I’m pretty sure she smiled back. It was dark, so I couldn’t tell.

It only took a few seconds, and soon enough the phone was tucked back away as I rejoined my incredibly understanding wife.

Life moves fast, after all, and it’s entirely our call whether or not we choose to slow it down on occasion so we can capture the strange in-between experiences we’d otherwise miss.

My call will always be the same: do it. Those glasses won’t be there forever, after all.

Neither will we.
