don’t give your Mom the camera

July 8, 2007 · No Comments

Unless she knows how it works. Don’t go to Disneyland, and then hand your camera to someone who may not know how it works and expect to get a great photo. Sometimes it works out fine, and other times… you get a shot like this. Isn’t this great?

That’s me in front, with no head to put that hat on, and right next to me, my daughter’s elbow. She’s grown so much! My brother C’s elbow right behind me, he has my son on his shoulders, that’s his foot under C’s arm. And the upper torso and legs next to C is my brother D.

So yeah. Photo tip. You want that great group shot for the start of your day? Practice at home first, when you have lots of time to teach Grandma how the camera works. It is suprisingly difficult to get a turn standing in front of the famous flower bed in front of Disneyland. Once you’re up there, you can feel somewhat rushed by all the other folks who want to do the same group shot of their group. Which can lead to a photo like this one, if your photographer suddenly has 3 different cameras shoved at him/her, and doesn’t know how they all work.

Note to my brothers: Did anyone get a good group shot on this trip? can you email it to me? KTX
