Hello everyone! Just some thoughts I developed while filming a wedding today. Forgive me if it seems scattered. I just wanted to get it out. Be advised: Revisions will happen. For now, enjoy! __________________________________ 3... 2... 1... GO! The anticipation of a countdown is always an exhilarating one. Whether it's a countdown to start a race, or a countdown till the cookies in the oven are done baking, there's just something about the anticipation of a countdown that gets us excited in some way, shape or form.

Along with these things, I've been fortunate enough to have experiences (long and short) with things like
