    What did I post just before??? That was ment for a picture I uploaded. Any way, I love this shot!! I always find it very difficult to photograph children, there too spontanious (and that’s what we need), but you did a great, natural job with this! Congratz!

    Um…Time for a diaper change, perhaps??? I didn’t read the novel ahead of me..Maybe it will explain the scenario.

    Which number is this? Or have you lost track?

    Cute kid…Again, good thing he looks like mama?

    Great idea, but how many times was he dropped before you got the shot?

    See you later fellow Simian. Ook Ook! You want a banana?

  • LoveMy7Cs replied

    LOL
    He is actually #8. My first grandchild. (His name Kia, means sea in Hawaiian.
    (Totally coincidental!)
    And yep, looks like his mama’s side!

    Only dropped a coupla times…

    and LOL again, I just had a banana!

    This is so flippin’ FUNNY I almost spit up my precious 151 rum and Pepsi. I’d have had to sue you and that would have been funnier on Judge Judy’s TV show. This shot is the capture of a lifetime and I’d encourage you to put it in the group kairos

  • LoveMy7Cs replied

    You have excellent taste! Pepsi is WAY better.

    And I just joined kairos.
    Thank you so much!

    Hi there! I accepted this photo into the group Photography 101, however it lacks the type of description we would like. Please adhere to the following guidelines so that your photo can be of help to other members! Thanks!!

    Artwork should contain a description (which ties in with the physics and emotion behind taking pictures mentioned above). At the absolute minimum, the camera, lens, and settings should be included, but more of a description as to how the shot came about would be very useful too.

  • LoveMy7Cs replied

    Thanks Taylor,
    I’ll work on a write up.
