Just got home from an afternoon walk and stop at the grocery store. When I have a grocery stop to make, I pass through a couple blocks of industrial decay (abandoned warehouses, graffiti) and under an old bridge over the railroad tracks. It's possible to drive down a seriously neglected road to get under the bridge but there's no where to go except back the way you came.
So today I'm walking through when a bunch of very nice cars and a bus come driving down the road to get under the bridge. I knew what was going on as soon as I saw them because I've seen this before. It was a wedding party. It just finished raining for two days and under the bridge was a mud puddle. There were big puddles all over the tracks. It was nothing short of hilarious to watch the women holding on to each other in a group while trying to make it across two pairs of muddy train tracks wearing fashion torture devices on their feet. They headed for one of the well-graffiti-covered warehouses.
I grabbed a snap of part of the group as I walked by and they were waiting for the photographer to set up his gear.
So these people were from outside the city (license plates) and they drove down here to take wedding photos in a setting of abandoned urban decay. I understand going to a garden to take wedding photos. I understand going to a natural setting to take wedding photos. I understand going to a meaningful place like a ballpark or a ski slope to take wedding photos. I can even understand things like taking wedding photos on your Harleys or in your bass boat. But I don't get this one: What the bleepin' bleep is wrong with these people!?
