Hey there! My name is Becker and I am a wedding photographer from Orange County, California who specializes in capturing relaxed portraits, amazing details and real moments for the coolest brides and grooms on the planet.

This blog follows both my personal and professional life, and features images from the weddings I shoot, the places I travel and the friends and family members that mean so much to me. It's basically like my own personal photo album combined with an information source for my current and potential clients and a source of inspiration and education for other photographers. This site is a little more informal and I just want to give everyone a sense of who I am, and what I am all about. Thanks for visiting.

Your fate could be in my hands

11.25.2009

Ok, so I am serving time at jury duty today. I haven't been in years. I've gone several times in the past, and I've never been seated on a jury. I do think it would be fun and interesting to be on a trial, but who has that kind of time? If I hated my job, or worked for the man, i.e. Corporate America, I think jury duty would be a fun vacation from work and a nice change of pace.

But as a self employed business owner, I really don't have time to serve on any trial longer than a few days and I also resent wasting an entire day when I know there's no chance they are going to put a person like me on a jury. I am too opinionated and passionate about my core beliefs and I guarantee one of the attorney's will be using a pre-emptive challenge on me. When I retire, I'll probably volunteer for jury duty just for fun and to make up the fact that i won't ever be on a trial in the near future.

Seriously folks, if you were on trial for your life, your freedom, or involved in a multi-million dollar lawsuit, could you image that your fate could reside in this face? I didn't shower, I have awesome product-free bedhead going on and I think I may have acci-purposely forgotten to use deodorant this morning.

But I promise you this, if I ever do get on a jury I promise you I'll be the foreman! OJ would have been convicted if I was on that jury. The key word is reasonable doubt. The glove not fitting is not reasonable doubt... it doesn't have to fit perfectly to wield a knife. Oh well, karma caught up to the Juice!

Please don't read too much into any political statements I may or may not be making. I am just trying to entertain myself while waiting in the Juror Assembly Room at the OC courthouse here in Santa Ana. I am thankful that we do have a pretty awesome justice system compared to the rest of the world and I am happy to serve.
