Holiday Photo Shoot Outtakes

To get a photo for this year's Holiday Card, we teamed up with the Messingers on Santa Monica Beach for what turned out to be a lovely sunset. Lucky us. And with four adults, three high-end digital cameras and a good deal of photography knowledge between us, it was still quite a challenge to coral the kids and get them looking in the same general direction at the same time. I met Kevin there, and literally saw steam coming from his ears just from his first five minutes of the effort. We didn't have high hopes, but we ended up getting some nice shots, and having a fun time playing in the sand.

Happy Holidays everyone!




Thanks to our recent black and white photography class, Kevin did a little experimenting with some of the shots. For comparison:
