October is here, and with it comes the futile dreams that Kate and I have of getting a great photo of our children for a Christmas card. We took a ni
ce hike this morning up near the Flatirons and the fall colors were just starting to brighten the landscape around town. We thought that if we bring the camera along, this might be a good chance to capture that classic photo that has eluded us since we have had more that one child. We got some great settings and backdrops, but our children came through every time with the utterl
y ghastly expressions that we've come to expect from them when a camera is pointed their way. I thought that it would be a good idea to pitch this as a reality TV show concept. Take the best photographers from around the world, put them together with our kids for one week, and give them the challenge of taking a single decent photo of all three of them at the same time. I can just imagine the drama and frustration, because I've lived it! Don't hold your breath for a really cute Christ
mas card from us, but we'll keep trying!
