Ok, I have discovered a huge lack in Cedar/Enoch. I have spent many hours this last week searching for just the right things: A gold crown and black shirts for everyone in the family. The reason for the gold crown is obvious--Halloween, but the reason for black shirts may not be. My only brother is going into the Air Force Nov. 3, and we are having a going away party. Since this is the last chance we will have for a very long time to all be together we are having a family picture taken. We will all be dressed in black shirts and jeans. None of us have that combo. When Wal-mart is your only affordable option, your choices are limited. I had many black shirts to choose from, but most of them showed my worst side--ok, my fat. I'm hoping to appear slimmer than I actually am, not fatter than I actually am. I finally found one for every one, but poor B--his is two sizes too big. It'll be fine though. He doesn't need to look like he belongs on the cover of a fashion magazine; he just needs to blend in. Hopefully everything but my face is hidden and then it won't matter what I wear. Do I really look like this? If I do I need serious help.
Arg! I hate having pitures taken of me; not only Am I not photogenic at that moment, but it is frozen in time to be looked at forever and ever with loving adoration. I must be too harsh on myself. So I resolve to love whatever shots are taken and be happy no matter what I look like.
It's crazy how such an easy outfit (black tee! jeans!) could be so difficult, but I know how that goes.
ReplyDeleteI hate pictures of myself because I never look like what I think I look like and I can't live with that dichotomy.
I think you have always photographed nicely---so as long as your little ones cooperate the black tee pix should be great!
Black is a good choice, I have always been told black is thinning white is widening. I am not sure how true it is but sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteha ha I think we are our worst critics........Funny how something so simple can sometimes be so difficult. Good luck and I am sure your pics will turn out great
