ARMY PHOTO GALLERY

The only way to restrain/slow him down was to put him on playground equipment...but only so long as it was moving playground equipment. Trying to get a shot while he's bouncing up and down on a next-generation teeter totter was...um...only slightly less difficult than getting one of him when he could run free. =)

No smiles out of him on it, but I opted for au naturel mode, rather than trying to get him to give a flying fig about smiling at all. ;o)

As practice, I offered (asked?) to do a mini-photo shoot with a friend's son...partially to see if kid portraits really are easier with a better camera, but also to start reusing old camera chops that have gotten spoiled with having an older child.

But oy. I'd forgotten how fast 2yo kids can be! ESPECIALLY such active, fast, never-stops little guys like this one!

While I'm busy shooting the pieces, Jake comes to visit... I blocked him from my working space with a couple office chairs, so he proceeded to attack the kids' construction paper storage cabinet on the opposite wall. :P
