New Year’s Portrait Fun
Happy New Year everyone.
Every New Year’s Eve we host some family for a beef roast and to ring in the new year. This year I added an impromptu photo studio to the party. I threw together a backdrop stand from some 2x4s, put up a soft box, dug up some props, and cajoled people into getting in front of the camera – even myself. Once the ice was broken, people were into it (drinks may have helped crack that ice too).
Nothing unique here (I discovered that even the music I selected from ccmixter is all over the web), but these are photos I and my family look at and laugh about for years.
Well worth the effort. Preserving such moments is an aspect and power of photography I love.
