I write about my failures as a family portrait photographer on our recent trip West at DadCentric today. Here’s the start and one of my many bad photos to entice you. Cheers!
The poetic among us would find rich metaphoric comparisons between the taking of our yearly family portrait and my annual health checkup.
I kinda froze here: one is a figurative pain in my tuchus; the other is literally.

Though a notoriously mediocre point-n-shooter, I undertook the job of family photographer this year because I now own a decent camera and we were going on a scenic week-long trip out West. The breathtaking, soul-enriching beauty of the Grand Canyon and such should surely override my technical ineptitude and my motley crew's many flaws, right?
Yeah. Right.
Ahahahahha! I love that photo. Heading over to the other site to read the whole story.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Meleah.
DeleteI love that pic as well. I like the quirky angles and realities of family over the perfectly focused faces and immaculate homes.
ReplyDeleteReally, I do. Have you ever had a kitchen as clean as some of the ones on the blogs. Really? And whose kid's bedroom has all the toys put away and no stray socks?
Nobody I know.
