ANOTHER SHAVER FAMILY PORTRAIT

Summer 07

When one member of the family is the defacto photographer, it isn’t so easy to get a good family portrait, but I keep trying! I love how the shadow in the sand is sort of glowing. I was experimenting with diffused fill flash at Point Pleasant Beach today.

Click here for our first freaky family portrait of the summer. I’m on a roll!

    Ha ha. Very funny. Around here the seagulls are more vicious than the sharks.

    You should photoshop a shark fin in the surf!

    Hey Heidi! I should have made this a contest, huh?

    LEFT TO RIGHT:
    1) Check out how tall Gregory is for a first-grader! He’s almost as tall as me! I LOVE that he and I are holding hands.

    2) Look how loaded down I am. I have the camera, two kids on my arms, a bag on my hip, my pockets are stuffed with stuff including Harold, Gregory’s new cat, and my posture is bent out of shape. Typical.

    3) Bradley had no idea what to do with his skinny little arms. I said, “Everybody link arms,” so like any goofy 7th grader, he just popped his arms straight out. I mean that “goofy” thing in the nicest way! (Everybody’s a little bit goofy when they’re 12-going-on-13.) Plus, check out how tall Bradley is now. Way taller than me. It’s not fair.

    4) Bradley is almost as tall as Mike!

    Um, does that answer your question?

  4. Heidi says:

    Well I can pick out Gregory, and you, but I’m having a hard time distinguishing which tall shadow is Mike and which one is Bradley.
