I just noticed this voting thing... I vote for #4 or #1. #4 is my favorite because it is different than other ads in the magazine... Plus, it goes well with your LOGO! I love #5 but I think it might blend in with the other ads of the magazine.Amanda Yunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214641299054023469.post-35910338600886237322010-04-07T22:53:59.436-05:002010-04-07T22:53:59.436-05:00They&#39;re all amazing, but I like #1 the most! :)Fleurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551189589457559304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214641299054023469.post-43568360200805371912010-04-07T15:28:25.232-05:002010-04-07T15:28:25.232-05:00In my contrey in Pakistan we love good fotography.

I wish I had more than one vote because Number 1 and 5 are both beautiful photos full of emotion! I do not like how the bride and groom do not have any physical contact at all in photos 2 or 3, had photo 3 been shot without that gorgeous background, the couple in the photo would seem a bit awkward to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214641299054023469.post-45944337131435236192010-03-26T17:28:37.032-06:002010-03-26T17:28:37.032-06:00When a bride is looking through a bridal magazine she is most often drawn to all the beautiful wedding gowns.

Which to me is what I wanted in a man when I got married. The photo gives a real sense of closeness and love for one another. My only wish is that my wedding album would of had the artist look of your photographs.Kerrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214641299054023469.post-81523752066695168842010-03-26T11:24:46.136-06:002010-03-26T11:24:46.136-06:00I really like photo #5 because it shows how loving a bride can be and additionally how protective a groom can be. Photo in number #3 shows the bride having fun but the groom looks uninterested and too far away from the bride and just not into the joy of wedded bliss. Number 1 is a great photo and should be in wedding magazines as an artist piece.

Just sit in an art critique, and you&#39;ll see some truly brutal behavior. If anything, honesty and constructive criticism is what does matter to make Dennis grow into a better artist Thank g-d, Dennis isn&#39;t defending each picture-that really shows a mature artist. <br /><br />I must say, I really favor number one. It&#39;s really fresh and tells a story, and I love how childish the elderly women are acting (sort of a play on the roles of how they should be the mature ones). Number two doesn&#39;t show much of the brides face-which would be nice to see if it&#39;s placed in a magazine. I know she&#39;s flashing her ring, but it reminds me of &quot;awkward turtle.&quot; Number three is cliche for a Chicago magazine since that magazine is going to be bustling with photos of Chicago. I like the symbolism of number four being the light at the end of the tunnel. Number five is nice because it&#39;s urban for a magazine, but not smacking Chicago in your face. It also depicts a nice moment between the couple.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214641299054023469.post-27857169234405042512010-03-25T11:46:16.185-06:002010-03-25T11:46:16.185-06:00Thank you all for the wonderful comments and compliments.<br /><br />I find it funny and odd at the same time that my blog, written and administered by one person here at Dennis Lee Photo International World Headquarters as my assistant jokingly calls it, has gone to discussions about freedom of speech and first amendment rights. That&#39;s something I never would have expected, but thought it needed a quick mention.<br /> <br />As a member of the National Press Photographers of America, I believe that freedom of speech is one of our most important rights and one I take an active part in defending. Freedom of speech gives any person or organization, like the Tribune, the right to voice and promote their opinions. Freedom of speech also gives any person the right to voice their dissent to those same views. Yet, freedom of speech does not mean that the Tribune must publish all or any of those opinions.<br /> <br />Lastly, freedom of speech is too important of a right to be used as an excuse for lack of decorum; it&#39;s a means to a great end, not an excuse.<br /><br />Let&#39;s just get back to having fun and looking at pictures.Dennis Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13244676642467258097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214641299054023469.post-73585713947509665862010-03-25T10:14:40.609-06:002010-03-25T10:14:40.609-06:00Dennis I also believe that your photography is artistically stunning. But I also believe that the blog about re-educating the elementary teacher about OUR first amendment rights was right on. Jacyln had the right to express her comments and her opinion on her photo shopped photo. We&#39;re all adults and should be able to take criticism. Your blog should include all comments about what people think.
