A photo a week in the life of LaLa Photography, using various photographic mediums
Week 42
It is amazing how technology has changed our lives over the course of the past few years. At a certain point in time computers were confined to a desk; too heavy to move and had to be near a telephone line so that our modems could connect to the Internet. Now, our computers are as small as the size of our palm and we can take it with us anywhere for business or leisure.
In the past I have posted on LaLa Photography's Facebook Page articles that promoted a 'gadget-free' wedding; at such weddings couples discourage their guests to use cameras and video recorders so that the appointed photographer can capture the faces of guests during the course of the wedding, rather than having faces hidden behind an electronic gadget. In this week's LaLa Life, having a gadget such as the camera phone had proven to be essential.
During one of the weddings I covered, I noticed the random absence of particular family members during the course of the bride's preparation photos. I discovered later that they were streaming the moment through iPhone's Face Time back to the bride's home country of Cambodia.
The live streaming of the day's events, coupled with the ability to have access to the couple's photo gallery through LaLa Photography's website, meant family and friends (who would otherwise not have been able to make the journey to the wedding), could now enjoy, and feel like they are participating in, the celebrations from the comfort of their own homes, where ever in the world they may be.
