sleeping beauties

I just love this photo. It has memories of travelling home after Christmas lunch many years ago. Four very boisterous and loud kids (My twin boys and their cousins) fell asleep. I love it and thought I would share it.

    I agree this is a treasure and also reminds me when I was little, coming home from trips, falling asleep and having my dad carry me in when we got home.

  • Jazzyjane

    Jazzyjane

    I also remember the falling asleep thing and pretending to be too tired to walk when I was a little older in the vain hope that I might still be carried in.

  • sharra

    i disagree. its very very in the moment. its so perfect with all the boys falling on eachother like that. it could never be coordinated. very natural. i love it. children make great photos anyhow.

  • Jazzyjane

    Jazzyjane

    Thanks moonlight 1. These boys are now 27 & 24 and my boys turn 25 on Monday. Sadly, one of my boys is taking his wife and children and moving 13 hrs away. I will miss them terribly, but he has a good job to go to and they are so excited about going.
    ps…how do you fit in TWO car seats?I take my hat off to you.

    Thanks sharrukina. I don’t think I have ever got such a lucky shot again.

    very very good photo.. you have to tell me what type of software you use for all your work. its all great

  • Jazzyjane replied

    Thank you very much Mandi. I use photoshop CS 3 extended. I haven’t used the extended bit though. I need to know a bit more about it. I did some web work for a company and they paid me with Photoshop. I felt like I had won the lottery. Photoshop elements is apparently very good too and much cheaper.

    Jazzyjane, I love this photo, so intimate. You have lovely work! I read in your profile that you claim to be not so good of a photographer! I beg to differ, your work is very good. But, in the end, the only person you have to please with your photography is yourself, so keeping shooting. I find it to be good therapy!!

  • Alvin de Quincey
