Me: Hey, Dad. Could you take a picture of me with your camera? I need a headshot photo.
Dad: Sure!
(I hand dad his camera, ready for action)
(Dad clicks... hands me the camera for review)
(I look at the on-camera display)
Me: (describing a headshot, putting my right hand, horizontally parallel to the floor, just above my head; placing my left hand just below my chin) There should be no background. Just the face in the photo.
Dad: alright...
Me: Here, let me take a headshot of you. Be still...
(Dad freezes for the pose. I click.)
Me: See! This is a headshot... no background... just face...
(Dad reviews photo... starts mumbling about appearance...)
Dad: Ok! I see! Let me try again.
(I look up... Dad moves closer with camera in hand... click!)
(We review the photo... I mumble about appearance...)
Point of the story: I'm reminded of the adage... "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."
Hehe... I don't think I care for these headshots...
