Me? You talkin’ to me?

In between expressions of comical animation and amusement, there are these; Austin’s more pensive and questioning moments…

…though when I look at this picture, I can recognize that expression for what it truly is; second child syndrome. “What the heck is that big black thing on your face? Camera? What the heck is a camera?”

Back when they actually smile…

As an example of what it used to be like taking pictures of Ethan, Austin is – as yet – uninfluenced by his older brother’s sense of drama in front of the camera.

Oh yeah…and Nicole was here too. Hey Nicole! :)

Kid party and photography challenges

Posted in Ethan, Life at 12:35 am by Aaron

Ethan had some visitors a little while back, and we ended up with this fairly hilarious picture of him, Ella and Wils…their expressions are pretty priceless (don’t you wonder what Wils is looking at?)

What the picture raises for me, however, is just how tough it is to get a picture of Ethan these days. It used to be that as soon as he saw the camera, he would put on his best smile and freeze. Now, well, it’s a little different. Take, as an illustration, the series that the above photo was a part of…

Yeah, well, that pretty much says it all. It is made no less challenging by the fact that he wants to see the result after every shot. I guess we all have our own aesthetic sense…
