Friday 5: Picture This
1. If a really, really good photographer — the kind who always makes you look good and still look like you — were to take your photo right now, what would be a good title for it?
“Miracles Never Cease”
2. If that photo were so good it belonged on the cover of a magazine, what would be a good choice, based on where you are and what you’re doing?
“Mac Life”
3. If you took an interesting or aesthetically pleasing photo of something in your view right now, what might it be, and what would its title be?
The photo would be of Hubby and Tobi the Wonder Dog, who are at this very moment sleeping next to each other on the carpet beside my desk. The title would be “Man’s Best Friend.”
4. Among people you know, who seems to have a knack for taking great shots of people?
That would be Lisa, although I’ve only had the pleasure of meeting her once at the first Hawaii Flickr meetup. I admire her photography tremendously!
5. Are you usually happier with candid photos of you, or photos you’ve posed for?
There are very few candid photos of me. I’m usually the one with the camera, so if I want a picture of myself it’s posed because I’m handing my camera to someone else and telling them, “here, take my picture.” (Yes, I’m vain like that, sometimes.) So, to answer the question, I suppose that would make my preference the posed photos.

I agree about Lisa’s photography. Every picture is a lesson for me. She’s amazing!
I like a lot of your non-human photography, too; especially the macro stuff. I don’t remember if I told you, but I’ve used your photos as examples for my students to try and mimic.
Aww, thanks! I’m blushing
I really enjoy your photos too. I don’t think you’ve posted a food photo yet that hasn’t had me drooling!
I am hoping that next October or thereabouts I might have the honor of photographing a new addition (or two!) to your family.
