The Marriage of Alina and Steven

Among the myths of the artist: no one tells them what to do. Except wealthy collectors, who sometimes "own" them.

I would never tell Paul Wong what to do. But if I was infected with money, and Paul was in need of it, I would encourage him to spend a year working as a wedding photographer, towards a publication called Paul Wong: Weddings.

These pictures were taken by Paul at the Western Front last Sunday. The bride is Alina, the groom is Steven, the woman on her knees recording their "first dance" is Alina's mother.
