    Kurtz, a photographer, was taking wedding photos near an active volcano in Hawaii that had been quiet. He took a break to run errands since the volcano was inactive. However, while he was at the church for a wedding, the volcano erupted. Kurtz saw the eruption through breaking clouds and grabbed his camera equipment to photograph the newlywed couple with the erupting volcano in the background. He captured a once-in-a-lifetime photo of the power of nature as a backdrop to the human experience of a wedding.

    • Instead, it's this serendipitous wedding photo that has
    spread across the Web like wildfire—a once- or twice-in-
    a-lifetime kind of photograph that captures the power
    of nature as a backdrop to the human experience.
    • But after five intense days of photography, he needed a
    break.
    • I needed to run some errands and since the volcano was
    quiet it seemed a good day to do that.
    • The volcano had been quiet all day that Thursday, so it
    was a risk, but as Kurtz told us: "nothing ventured
    nothing gained, and off to the church I went.
    • When he got to the church, there was no sign of an
    eruption and clouds were obscuring the cone.

    to puff its way out of the cone.
