Not bad for an amateur

I spent an hour this afternoon messing around at the sunken gardens trying to get a "portrait" of these guys. Some of them turned out really good. I love digital cameras. I remember in the 80's when my older kids were little, sitting at Sears for hours trying to get a decent picture of a 3 month old who always manged to fall asleep just when it was my turn. Then 6 weeks later, I would get them back and they not quite as good as I hoped. Mind you, I have great looking kids! It is just the system that didn't work so great. Finally, they got a new deal where you could preview them that day. What an improvement! But still. you only get 2 or 3 chances.

So I love digital cameras because you can take a zillion poses and preview them too. And I got get the face I want that expresses who they are. For example, Cody is not smiling but it is him all over. Just a look that is familiar from him. When he is listening to me explain something, thinking all the time. Always curious. Then there is his other face. Also very familiar to all of us!
