i tried another 'me with the kids' self portrait today, this time vertical (the mag needs vertical).
and i had to do this today b/c kiele leaves tonight to go with her dad for three weeks.
this shot was the first shot we did, when everyone was smiley and happy.
what started with smiles and happiness ended with mad faces, pouting, closed eyes, eyes looking everywhere but the camea and tongues sticking out.
you should see the outtakes.
ugh.
i told the military spouse magazine art director that if this one doesn't work then it's okay...
i'm done.
i think the next time i'll try this again is...
next year.
maybe.
it's painful trying to get a shot like this of yourself.
i bribed.
i fussed.
and now i owe them some serious time at the park.
off we go.
