The Taylors

Grae’s expression in this last picture cracks me up!

If you have noticed a significant decrease in how often I post, it is because most of my latest attempts to take decent pictures of Grae have been unsuccessful. I love natural light pictures (as opposed to using flash), but taking natural light pictures requires that Grae remain still while facing a window – if he turns away, his face is not properly lit; if he moves even a little, the picture is blurred. I would guess that 95% of the shots I have taken during the past month or two are blurred. (Well, the natural light variety, anyway – the ones I like to post).

So this post and the next are of pictures that I took while Grae was tied into his high chair. In this post, he was next to our sliding glass doors. In the next, I just put his chair on the sidewalk outside. This ‘captive’ method will have to suffice for a while. That, or I may need to give in and start posting more pictures taken using flash. (If you didn’t already know that I struggle with being a perfectionist, I guess you know now!).
