Group Photos

Lara — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 18:27:47 +0000

I used to get pretty stressed out about group photos. I dreaded the “what ifs” about not getting the good one that I’m looking for.

There’s always the closed eyes,

or the stiff and unnatural bodies and expressions (loosen up, people!),

or maybe they’re not looking in the right direction (Yoo hoo, I’m over here!),

or maybe the people are just completely silly!

But with a little bit of direction, a tiny bit of patience, and A WHOLE LOT of clicks of the shutter, you’re bound to get something good. I’ve learned not to worry so much anymore. Nobody’s perfect, and I would never hope to be!

This really cool show – Shen Yun – is coming to Chicago on April 10-11, and I won’t be there to see it. Boo Hoo! I hope someone I know in Chi-town will go, and then tell me all about it…
