Mr Wonderful
Mr Diggy had his first ‘proper’ haircut today. I’m not counting the random chopping I’ve done over the last few months. But his lovely curls had gone from angelic to dragged-through-a-hedge-backwards and it was time to call in the The Professionals.
So I hauled myself out of my sick bed, and dragged those Megaboys to the children’s hairdressers for a chop. Bertie no longer looks like a girl, and Diggy now looks angelic again.
Here he is, sitting on the chair making eyes at the hairdresser and taken with my shiny new camera [swoon], a self-present to celebrate one year of photography, five years of marriage, 39 years of being alive and Christmas.
I’m still getting to grips with it and I will be for a while. But I’m pretty pleased with how this turned out, taken at ISO 1250 using available light. The D70 couldn’t cope with anything over ISO 400 without excessive noise and blur. I’m so pleased to be able to take sharp shots in very low light conditions without resorting to flash.
I love my self-present so much that I’m putting forward a proposal that self-presenting is the new praying. Do I have a seconder? Move over writing, your time is up….you’re pretty cool and improving and all that ….but we just want presents. Thank you x
I’m all about self-presenting. Perhaps I’ll practice it this weekend!
Oh my! What a beautiful photo of a beautiful boy! I’m glad you were well enough to go out and take the boys for a haircut. I usually self-present at Christmas and my Birthday…hmmm a new concept…self-present just because….I like it!
I whole-heartedly support self-presenting, especially when it contributes to your creativity. This photo is beautiful!
I have no words. Yet here they are…This photograph is beyond amazing. It looks so 1920s. The expression, the color, the light. Stunning.
I’d like to join this new church of yours. Sanctuary of the Self-Presenters.
Let us pray…
A beautiful picture…I’m in the for camp for self-presenting, its the way forward without a doubt
OK why can’t I see the picture? it’s tucked under the side bar..maybe because i’m on my net book… will get off my big fat butt and walk to the big computer just to see your brilliance!!!!!
All for self-presenting… in fact it’s probably the only way I’m gonna ever get another present!!!! Waaaa.
Self presenting is essential. Especially when the alternative are saucepans.
Oh I’m melting here, what a sweet little boy, those eyes, those curls. You have to love this kid!! Fantastic shot!!!
