WHO Photographs the Photographer?

Here’s a little interview of Myself, by Myself…I know, I’m a geek.

Q: Who Photographs the Photographer?
A: Self-Timer
Q: Do I recommend it?
A: Yes, and No
Q: What do you mean?
A: It’s ALWAYS a good idea to document your life with your love ones. If you’re out and about, find a trashcan, a newspaper stand, a ledge and set the camera on it, set the self-timer, and squeeze everyone in the shot. Strike a pose! BUT, for that “GREAT WORK OF ART” picture that you want to blow up big for the fireplace, or canvas to hang on a accent wall of your home…those are better left to a professional.

On Tuesday, I got spontaneous and though “We need a new picture of us!”. I often regret not having the cool pictures for my family that I do for my clients’ families. So, I was determined to try it myself….hummm, not as easy as it sounds. Even with lightning quick tiger moves of setting the self-timer and jumping in the shot myself, I couldn’t really pay attention to what everyone else was doing. Thus, my son looks constipated in many of the shots.
But, we did get some cute Candids when I forgot the camera was on self-timer as I was messing with the camera.
…And my trusty husband always models so gracefully. 🙂
Opps! Did I forget to warn you I was about to blind you, honey?
After a while, I sort of gave up trying to get something I knew I really couldn’t being in front of the camera…and we just made silly faces.
Even though, I didn’t get the results I wanted…it taught me something. GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT!
