Working With What You Got: Your Kids

Posted by on Jan 6, 2010 in Uncategorized | No Comments

My poor family. I’m sure I’m not in a unique situation with anyone that likes to take pictures from time to time, that it’s hard to find subjects you can practice on. Over and over again. And over again. And some more. Now when you get some new toys in, as I have – some Alien Bees 800 modeling strobes – you want to just play all day.

Problem is, no one wants to play with you.

My family, quite frankly, is so tired of me trying new things out. I remember when I was testing out my new Pocket Wizards last year, I had my wife sit out in the kitchen for an hour. Needless to say, she was not happy afterward. My kids, they’ll play, but their attention span is pretty short.

I can’t properly play with MY toys in say, 5 minutes, which is really all the time I get from them. But I will give credit too, sometimes, when my oldest WANTS to get pictures done. At that point, he’ll pose and lay across every bit of furniture or outdoor arrangement like one of those girls in a car magazine. It’s quite funny really.

I’m still waiting for my backdrop system to come in, so I’m forced to playing with a bare wall in my lower level at the house. Not ideal, but I’m more concerned with practicing with the strobes than anything else. Today, I convinced my youngest son, Will (3), to come over while he and his brother were taking turns on the Wii. In about 3 minutes time, I was able to grab a few shots.

It sort of sums him up really.
