I've been a professional wedding photographer for years. I'm not a seasoned veteran per-se, but I know my way around, and very little rattles me anymore. Unfortunately, I have a rather interesting situation coming up...and I am HIGHLY rattled! I need some advice from not just wedding photographers, but from kind understanding people as well!

I met the man I call my father in-law nine years ago. He's the type of man who can sit stone silent, but has a heart of gold and a presence that will dominate a room. His wife was no exception, and I was more than intimidated by them when I was the fiance of their youngest daughter...their baby.

My wife's mother passed away a while back, and over some time her father started dating a widow in their church, After some time, it was no surprise they announced they would be getting married.

I'm the photographer in the family, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when she asked me to shoot their wedding. So why am I terrified? Any advice?

Simple question:

do you, in general, prefer to say/to hear the truth or so say/to hear what is taken under the label "good sense"?

What do you say about that?

Tnx in antecipation!

there are two groups of elite men and women in particular that most American people do not know about, but which are a clear threat and danger to the freedom of the American people. These are the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission.
The Trilateral Commission

Unfortunately, the Council on Foreign Relations is not the only group proposing an end to the sovereignty of the United States. In 1973, The Trilateral Commission was founded to work for the same goal: a one-world government.

The Trilateral Commission's roots stem from the book, "Between Two Ages", written by Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1970. In this book, Brzezinski praised Marxism, thought of the United States as obsolete, and praised the formation of a one-world government. His thinking closely parallels that of CFR founder Edward Mandell house.
Right now the United States is completely under the control of those who run these two organizations (David Rockefeller in particular). It is therefore important to understand these organizations if we wish to understand what has been taking place in the United States since the early 1900’s.

The Council on Foreign Relations

In 1921, House and his friends formed the Council on Foreign Relations whose purpose right from its conception was to destroy the freedom and independence of the United States, and to lead the country into a one-world government.

Right from its beginning, in 1921, the CFR began to attract men of power and influence. In the late 1920’s, important financing for the CFR came from the Rockefeller Foundati

Have you ever thought that this life might be just as futile and useless as it seems and that they toil and effort we put into it may as well be replaced by days constant sloth and lethargy. Futher having contemplated that, has anyone ever really decided to say to hell with it all and start over in a small town or maybe a commune someplace under the name Robert Montgomery Knight Jr? Anybody?

I think it's entitled War of Words, but I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it talks about the affect our words have on people. It's a Biblically based book.

What underlying fear to you have that you base decisions on? Is it a fear of change, of dying, of being alone, of being wrong, of not providing for your kids?
I think the thing I fear the most is being a failure. I worry about the legacy I leave for my childern and how I will be remembered. But what is your fear and do you believe your fear is a rational one?

What part of your face can you actually see without looking in the mirror?

Have you ever saw your face?

Do you know what your head really looks like?

I myself, as a Persian, always try to assure myself that there're some little numbers of people at the west who really like (or at least don't hate) Persians. This's very important for me to know what do you really think, for example this one sounds promising :
