The Anderson Train Wreck



So for Christmas my mom asked me to take our family pictures! Naturally I was WAY excited and scouted out a cute colorful rusted building down town to shoot them at!! Then of course a blizzard came that day and shatter all plans for the colorful wall and obviously we couldn't do them outside. My mom insisted we still do them, but just inside the house... ( I was not thrilled about that one...) so we shot them in our MOST yellow room (which if you do photography you know is a mistake to bounce light off yellow... especially when your skin is already a yummy custard yellow color from the winter sun) and against a wall that was too wide for my lense but not long enough for my family to fit (thus equaling a lot of floor and head space) that and we had one VERY uncooperative 10 year old on scene as well which put us all into histarics! Needless to say it was hard to get a good shot... after the photos were taken I was so flustered and mad (when my photography doesn't turn out EXACTLY how i pictured it i get frustrated) so i put them on my computer with out even looking at them and swore i'd NEVER touch or look at those HORRIBLE pictures... well today I opened that file for the first time and I started CRACKIN up! These are our best 2 I think...
