Description
I am certain I told the kids not to smile... trying to emulate some photographer I admired at the time. This was about 1972.Related content

Thanks Elinor. Some of my earliest attempts at real photography with my children. (1971 or 72)

My son, Duke, is a bit camera shy. He's more of an introvert than the other two. He has become accustomed to my camera but is always just a bit uncomfortable.
Lauren was concerned about being photographed with so few clothes on.
Evan has never cared.. he's not at all camera shy.

Reminds me of Sally Mann.
Oh it looks so natural and beautiful, it makes me smile.
I think Iยดve told you before, but one thing I love about your pictures is that I could stare at them for hours and they still wonder me every time.

Thank you.. You are so nice!
I didn't know who Sally Mann was at the time but I may have seen the work... maybe.. it does look like her a bit.
Your comment made my day.

Oh, it might be for the kids and it has some "Sally Manns atmosphere"
The smiling kid steals the moment...
I'm loving it.

That's my son, Evan... and continues to steal the moment.

Wow, thanks! Makes me feel good since it was a very early photo while I was in college.

So of course one of them had to laugh.
Typical.

I do but made it small for their sake. The two older kids don't really like this photo.

Ha ha great shot, it's easy to find the rebel in the family! I used to love those haircuts I had my son's hair cut the same way.

I should have let them be just who they were... sigh... but I was all 'artsy' at the time.

myrnajacobs In reply to draunaturel [2009-10-06 20:41:04 +0000 UTC]
yes.... it is too bad. But then again I should have let them do what they do... be comfortable. It is how I work now.. never push for a look or certain clothing if the person is uncomfortable.

it is funny how we look back and see how we should have done something.
