Picture Day
My friend Brent is a part-time photographer with lots of hard-core photo equipment and a sharp eye. Over time, he's photographed most of his friends, in his home studio and elsewhere. He gets to practice his art that way, and we get professional-quality pictures! Today, it was my turn.
As Brent quickly discovered, I like to confound the photographer by making ridiculous faces at the camera! It disperses my anxiety about being looked at and having my dorky image recorded. But Brent was tolerant of my goofiness, and some of these pictures will turn out great. When I'm an elderly husk, I'll use them to prove to the nursing home staff that I was once cute.
