When i told Elijah what we were going to go do he got ready and waited for me by the van, "lipper" and "plip-pop" and backpack secured! and these silly faces are all him, I never ask for him to do that...........he is so much fun!
he absolutely loves this hat, I must confess that I had to first sway him though.....when he refused to wear it months ago, I said, "that's fine, Ezra can wear his and be cool, you don't have to look cool!" he snatched it off of the floor where he originally thrown it to and said, "no, I'm cool!" now he wears it when ever he comes across it, I won!
showing off the muscles!
My little poser.....such a goof
this was closest to what I was trying to accomplish....just with a crisper image, oh well, I'm still happy with them.
my attempt to get sun flare......not quite there yet!
his bad little habit..........I'm having a really hard time breaking him of it!
maybe it's time to call it quits......too sunny
Ha, just realized that these were all vertical shots!
The clouds were GORGEOUS this particular day (8-20-09) and I was completely inspired by them.....so I decided to take my test subject (Elijah) out to the local playground and try to capture something brilliant. Well, mission failed, but it wasn't a complete failure as I thought they turned out well enough (I wish I could have had Elijah's face crystal clear in every shot)...Lij was a great sport until the sun peeked out of the clouds and blinded him but he was rewarded with a sucker for his good behavior. I know in time I will get better, it's just going to take lots of practice and not all will be wasted time especially since I will get many wonderful photographs of my kiddos....something I regret not investing in from the beginning of motherhood!
