Been up since 5 am, so much to do, so little time, so much Christmas music everywhere (I'm OD'd) that I can't even fathom stepping foot in anything remindful of a retail establishment. Was out last night on a last-minute call (thanks Ernie) to photograph a guestless late-night wedding down at the beach -- it was heartbreakingly spiritual and intimate, a much needed contrast to all the shopping madness everywhere.
