Inspiration. Whichever form it may take, we all have our own inspiration…I have several CDs in my drawer that not many people know about. My biggest crime is probably owning both an Aqua CD and a Ace of Base CD – both played far too loud on a regular basis with a certain 3 year old singing to every single word. So there are CDs that have that -oh-my-goodness-I-should-have thrown-those-out-with-my-canvas-army-bag-covered-in-random-scribblings-about-whom-I-loved-at-the-time factor. Then there are those that are precious. Like my Cyndi Lauper CD. Love that CD to pieces and quite frankly I’m a little perturbed – had to look up how to spell that one I’m a little perturbed that Dove have taken one of my fav songs of all time and turned it into an advertisment. however. I need to gather my toys from where I threw them out the hypothetical sandpit and gather myself. It seems. Because just yesterday I saw this post on Ngai’s blog. and I decided to go along for the ride.
So if you read Ngai’s post it talks about getting a pic taken. I didn’t even get a new headshot taken for my book. Ahhhh just use the old one my 4 year old took a year or so back. Danielle Q took some good pics in Aussie when I was there (one in my blog header) but they are more candid. I kinda thought I might kill 2 birds with one stone and get myself a new headshot too. Too late for the book so I dunno what I’ll use it for…
Anyhow. So I hand the camera to my son who is now 6 years old. Fantastic photographer. And this is what he comes up with.
OK that look I am giving you is the wow-that-glare-off-the-roof-behind-you-is-killing-me-take-the-pic-already look. And yea that’s my ranchslider door behind me, I pulled the curtain behind me (so you could see the white side of it) and sat outside. Braden wasn’t meant to get the door handle, lol. Bad 6 year old photographer. lol.
And this one. I used the anti-crows-feet-tool in photoshop for this one. CAn you tell? lol Just pretend you can’t.
And then Paul walks past and yells OH MY GOD look at those wrinkles! For God’s sake, don’t SMILE already, check out those crows feet!!
And Braden gets this one.
I’m kinda liking this last option…
laters.
