The cheese just slaps different here

A New Yorker reminds what I love about Milwaukee

I’ve been running along Milwaukee’s lakefront for nearly two decades. 20 years! I can’t even believe that.

During that time I often see bridal parties take photos in front of the art museum. It’s probably the most popular spot in Milwaukee for wedding pictures. But it’s usually in the summer.

This was different. It was a cold March day. And this party was standing patiently in 20-something degrees waiting for a photographer to set up a tripod.

That takes a pretty committed group.

So while passing by on my run, I impulsively ran up to this group and asked if I could take a photo. You can see the results above. They got into it pretty quickly. The whole memorable experience took less than 10 seconds.

They looked familiar, and it turns out that we had Marquette University and November Project connections in common. The picture I posted was quickly identified, and the bride herself asked if she could snag my photo for her album.
