The Kid

Don't tell Rachel but I started making her birthday present today. She wants a good portrait of our not-so-littl-anymore Bear Cub to sit next to her PC at work . Stage 1 was completed today. That is: persuading the child to sit in front of the camera and smile. A difficult task at the best of times. Not because she doesn't smile - she does - but because she hates me photographing her. She loves her mum though, so guilt tripping was the final coup de gras in my persuasive onslaught.

This isn't the actual image I'll be using, but I like it. Hastily processed in Snapseed for the purposes of this post.

Edit: What a difference 5 years makes...
