Gotta be sneaky...

Margaret hates having her picture taken. Ok, maybe hates is a little harsh. How about strongly dislikes. About the only time she does like to have a photo taken is when she's with one of her children. Which is fine, but that means there aren't going to be too many solo shots of her in my collection. Maybe if I get her drunk first. ;)


She came downstairs to go thru some of her scrapbooking supplies tonight. Rearranging a bin of beads or something. I have no idea. Could be the poison pills that she's slowly feeding me for all I know. We're good like that. She doesn't want to know about my camera gear and I have no interest in her crapbooking supplies. Oops, did I leave out an s in there.
Oh well. ;)


I had my camera nearby while processing some other photos I had taken recently, and so I tried to be sneaky and snag a shot of my bride. Yea, dslr's aren't all that quiet. CA-CHUNK!

So will Ian continue your website in your absence
as kind of a eulogy? hehe Nice capture, John.
And I know how you feel. Must be a photographer curse of
some kind.

Play some music or video game really loud before you take the image :-) I think Margaret is enjoying personal time. Good capture.

Next time use a point and shoot camera or just cough when you pull the trigger. Good story and photo. The only way I can get a photo of my wife is to con her into posing when I am scouting new places to shoot.

Yeah, we need to see Margarets smile more often! And you kill me with your narration, gave me a good chuckle to start out the day and very nice to see Margaret.

Well there went your fun this week ;.)
You crack me up.HEY wait a minute,
Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Getting her drunk may get you LUCKY and a pic to boot.
All kidding aside everytime I see margarets picture she seems to have a genuine smile on.
I bet she is one of those "happy most the time and enjoys life"kind of people.
Which HAS to be a real feat considering who she is sleeping with.
(Just kidding buddy,you can't cancel the trade.)
