Family Photo

Here is a shot of Victoria, Tasha and Leo, Simone, and myself. We had just finished a walk in the woods and were back at the car. There was an older man nearby going crazy on some lumber. He was chopping away and chatting to himself a bit. He was moving chopped logs from one seemingly meaningless spot to a new one. We asked him, interrupting him I might add (but he was only put off for a minute) if he wouldn't mind taking a picture for us. He said he'd be happy to. He was nice. He informed us he had been a photographer for forty years.
Notice how the shot is off-center, out of focus and a bit far away. We also had to help him with the camera button to snap the shot. Stinking technology.

Hi.
I'm liking this, MC Special K.
Are you sure he said he was a photographer for 40 years?
Maybe he said he took a photograph 40 years ago.

Scott H. rappin' atcha from the snowy Northeast. Good to see you and baby Blankenblogger and Simone. Clearly you are not paying attention to what you should be. Perhaps the dogs are attempting to alert you to a threatening squirrel or tasty bit of cheese or intriguing pile of poop.

I was telling Mom about this photo and she got me thinking that maybe this guy had gotten out of photography because the digital cameras scared him, but may you help him get over that.
