Photography Skills

I pulled out some old photo albums recently to show Noey the Statue of Liberty. He saw some images of it randomly in different magazines and books, and I wanted to impress him with the fact that Mummy had been to see the real thing.

(Odd quirk of Noey's: He loves statues of all sorts. He thoroughly impressed his Nainai by asking her, when he saw the statue of liberty, "What is the name of that statue?" instead of "What is that?" as she expeocted him to.)

While rummaging through the albums, I came across some photos that made me laugh. If you think my husband is a good photographer (and I admit he is now), you should see the photographs he used to take early on in our relationship.

In Venice, April 2000

I've never let him forget this one, of me and the Santa Maria della Salute in Venice. When I asked him to get me in the photo with the church, I did NOT mean squeeze my head in disproportionately. Unfortunately this was before the age of the digital camera, so I didn't know that the shot looked like that till I developed the film after the trip was over.

Manarola in Cinque Terre, also April 2000

This one's slightly better, but still, the composition is leaves much to be desired. (Okay, I also had crappy dress sense as a student!)

I'm so glad his photography is so much better now!
