It never seems to turn out like the vision in my mind...





I have been planning our Christmas photos for a couple of months. Darkish, Gothic revivalish, band-photoish, grey, black and silver hues.
For some reason, I was not able to capture the vision in my mind.
Could it be - - hmmm - - that I have a 5, 4 and 2 year old with whom I am trying to communicate my artistic vision? It's ok. Actually they did great. We got some great pics. My kids are freaking awesome.
I was hoping to get outside right at dusk. Alas, it was too cold. We ended up in the gallery at the Lawrence Arts Center. Its a great warm space, a blank canvas. We just migrated around the gallery for an hour - taking snapshots of the family. It was surprisingly calm and quite fun.

i had hoped your vision would turn into reality.. but after we took 220 photos and had ONE of each child worth using, i had my doubts for you.
you look SMOKIN' my friend. wow....
i think they would look quite goth if you made them black and white and photoshopped at bit....
at least you got them done!
