I basically just hope that my friends don't end up with complete losers. I set the bar low...not low enough, based on how it's worked out with some friends.
FORTUNATELY, that's not the case with Paige and Shea. I wasn't a huge fan of her previous partner, so I was fucking relieved Shea was not only Not a total drip, but was, in fact, a very cool dude.
He's an elevator repairman...in the elevator repairman union. Soon as he said that, I was done. Love every single part of that.
(I myself have been a union man since 2003, and am increasingly of the belief that only organized labor can save the U.S. ASK ME ANYTHING)
But beyond such a rad job, he treats my dear friend real good. Easy to see, anytime they're together. He's a smart man, a fun man, but most importantly, a kind man.
(and if it turns out I'm wrong, I will have no compunction about coming back and re-writing this whole thing)
Made it that much sweeter, getting to photograph them, knowing Paige had found a good one.
