The LOOK

Usually, the best shots are the spontaneous ones. When doing a portrait of my kids for Christmas, I was trying to set up a nice shot with Christmas lights for the cards we create and send to loved ones. While shooting, I had the bright idea of having my son and daughter wrapped up in Christmas lights. I thought the colors and effect would be terrific.

While it was nice, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. My son got a little antsy, and since my daughter was essentially tied to him, she gave him, the look.

I did think about making a Christmas card:

(The card reads, "Dear Santa, I really* would like: 1) A new bike; 2) More toys. * I know where you live.")

Then I thought, "Nahh, probably not."
