My title has nothing to do with the preview posts below… but whoever said getting old stinks was RIGHT. Since Tuesday I have been nursing a mild case of whiplash. So you ask?? Marie, how in the world did you get whiplash – a car accident? Noooo….. it was an evil slide at Hurricane Harbor called Mega Wedgie. I used to ride all the thrill rides without consequences. Not anymore. My amusement park and carnival days just may be over.
Yeserday, I photographed an engagement session in Downtown Waxahachie and the park. It was hot in places, but for the most part… it wasn’t to painful. Karel requested some at The Grove. I love that spot.
This reminds me of the Princess Bride, an old movie, but one I still love. If you look at the movie poster for this – it’s the same pose.
This shot I stole from a magazine ad. I tore it out of a magazine last year and just remembered to use it yesterday. I think I like it!
Then my session from Sunday, pre-whiplash. But this session started the “I’m feeling old sequence”. I photographed the Wayne Family. This was an adult family of parents and three brothers. For a couple of years I went to DeSoto High School – the same High School the boys went to. Feeling like I was close to their age – I asked what year they graduated to see if they knew any of my friends. They graduated 10-13 years AFTER me – I doubt we had any friends in common. I was jolted.
They were a great family. I tried it make it quick and painless for everyone. Some of you may recognize Carol from our local library!
