Remember this shot of John Kerry’s daughter at the Cannes film festival?

The material she was wearing, while opaque to the naked eye (pun very much not intended), became suddenly semi-transparent under direct flash. Well, this weekend I shot a wedding and the groom’s mother’s dress fell prey to the same basic principle.

I feel so bad because in all the formal pictures, her choice of undergarments are no longer a mystery (she was wearing much more than Ms. Kerry here). And the amount of work it takes to ‘hide them’ is quite monumental. So, I’m handing off the shots to my employer and letting them decide if they want to doctor the shots before giving them over or not.

Me, I’m going to be busy scrubbing my eyeballs with Listerine.
