The only person I seem to be able to get to sit still for me is — you guessed it — my husband. So I have a lot of portraits of Garry. Most of them profiles or half profiles. Pictures of Garry at events, Garry taking pictures. Garry being Garry.
What makes him easy to photograph is he spent his entire professional life in front of a camera, so he knows “good side” from “bad side,” knows not to look directly at the camera. Knows what I mean when I ask him to show a “little more attitude.”
Nice to have a subject to photograph who actually understands what goes into making a good picture. And appreciates the results.

I’m lucky I have a guy who actually doesn’t mind being photographed. My granddaughter can be sweet-talked into holding still, but she isn’t around as much 🙂

Thank you! It was more than one picture … but only one subject. So it almost made the cut 🙂

Very cool photos 🙂
If someone tells me to “smile” for a photo I’ll put on a big fake smile, and “show a little more attitude” would probably result in a “crossed arm rapper pose” of some description. Taking pictures of me is not easy.

Taking pictures of most people is difficult. MOST people are camera shy. Garry is just so used to being in front of a camera, he doesn’t even think about it. And better yet, he is used to taking direction. He’s not bad at giving it, either.

And a cooperative one … but a critical one too. He has a good eye and wants to look good. No ugly pictures. Direct to “deleted” 🙂

That’s his favorite shirt — next to his NCIS “Always carry a knife” shirt 🙂

I love NCIS! It’s one of my must see crime dramas, Criminal Minds, Elementary, and Person of Interest are a few more I always watch.

Yup. We watch them all, the new ones, the reruns, the reruns of the reruns. I think sometimes Garry believes he IS Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

I really can’t get most of my family to sit still long enough for me to get pictures that are any good. Kaity at least I can catch unawares, but I haven’t got a decent picture of O in years. As for me, let’s hear it for Garry, when he thinks I’m not looking … and selfies!
