				 I never work with models, and except for 
				this one, all the photos 
				in this gallery were 
				taken spontaneously, without any poses. Here I had 
				spent quite a bit of time trying to photograph Niagra Falls 
				under the night lights and it was extremely challenging. A wind 
				was blowing toward me, and as you can see there was a mist in 
				the air that was so heavy that it was as if I were photographing in 
				the rain. I tried everything I could to keep my camera dry, but 
				it was getting wet just the same. The water could have short 
				circuited and ruined the camera, while water on the lens could 
				have destroyed the clarity of 
				the image. When this couple showed up, despite the adversity, I 
				jumped at the opportunity to shoot another series of photos with them in 
				it. They were a very handsome newly wed couple and they agreed 
				to pose for me in front of the same falls that decades earlier 
				my parents had come to see while on their honeymoon.
