Highland Falls, New York - August, 1997

If I didn't use print film, I'd have a lot more room in my closets ( my drawers, my desk). I have a hard time throwing out prints, even those that don't make the grade.

This shot was most definitely a 'do over'. It was my annual Christmas shot (yes, yes, taken in September, working under variable conditions such as weather and children plus allowing for the turn around time of print film it is most advisable to start the process early) and I had my three posed on the deck hoping for happy grins to adorn our holiday greeting card.

Check out the look on Meaghan's face, really check it out. Somehow she wasn't coming up with that natural spontaneous smile I'd hoped for. Perhaps it was due to the fact that baby Kerry picked that moment to pee through his diaper all over her lap.

Had it been digital that shot would have ended up in the recycle bin and that family story wouldn't hold any water.

Never digital- always film along with an occasional really bad pun.
