A Frustrated Subject

My husband Kelly is an awesome photographer. He's made it a real hobby and he has an eye for scenery that is just amazing. However, when he finds something he wants to capture, he tends to take several pictures of the same thing, just to make sure he gets a least one 'keeper'. And so it is when he finds a living subject. His brother, sisters, nephews and nieces have been his target on more than one occasion, and before he's finished, he sometimes has some pretty disgruntled relatives! It's usually worth it in the end though. He does take some great pictures.

It follows that when we got Goliath last week, Kelly's camera went into overdrive. At first, Goliath didn't seem to mind....


After a few days, however, you could see that Goliath was getting tired of being daddy's poster boy. He was subtle at first - running off when Kelly pointed the lens, or barking at Kelly when the camera came out. At the end of the week, though, I think he really got his point across. Kelly was leaving on another quest for photos when he turned around, and lo and behold, he saw this:
Kelly was captivated by such a little dog jumping up on our window sill to watch the world go by, so he snapped another:Whoops, too much window reflection. Let's try it again....

Do you sense a little aggravation building on Goliath's face? Kelly didn't and he just kept on clickin'. Little Golli finally got his point across.....


Kelly hasn't tried to take his picture since!

  1. Your new addition is such a poser. Tell Kelly he has captured some winners here.
