It is getting to be that time of year again. Christmas Card Time. Time to find a beautiful photo of all of the members of your family together where everyone is smiling, dressed nicely, and in front of an acceptable background. It generally starts with the scrounging through older pics looking for one that might fit the previous description. Yeah Right! The next option is to rig the camera onto chairs, boxes, books and who knows what else in order to use the timer to take a family photo. After an hour of fighting and tears, you choose the least bad picture to send to everyone you know. Generally, you begin to fall in love with the picture you chose (cognitive dissonance) and remember it fondly until you run across it a year or two later and say "what were we thinking?". As you can see from the 'least bad' picture posted above, we will be having a photo session #2. Wish me luck!
So funny Angel! I just posted an entry with the same frustration of taking 70 pics, only to find 2 or 3 that are card worthy!
ReplyDeleteOk, that's funny! I am looking forward to the family pic..... Hope it works well. You'd think the kids would be all up for doing it! And the putting the camera on books, etc. I've done it many a time and finally bought a tripod! Good Luck!
