I swear I can see a little boy in this picture
Yesterday, I noticed the late afternoon light falling across our opened front door in a particularly appealing way, so I quickly went to get my camera and tripod. I set up the shot, adjusted the camera, and snapped a series of pictures of the empty doorway. But when I look at this one, I swear there is what appears to be a little boy standing behind the beveled glass.
I think I’ll ask Sam. He was right beside me as I was setting up the camera. In fact, he insisted on looking through the viewfinder at least twice, and at one point, he even went around to the front of the camera and pressed his cheek and eye against the lens. He was also playing with the tripod some.
Maybe he saw something.
Is that really Sam? What an Adonis. Unlike a Shar Pei his folds seem to have disappeared as the frame inside has grown.
Lovely little man, lovely photos.
It really, really is. He’s grown right up and out of his folds. And now he talks, too! As much as the other two, maybe even more. He also likes to insert himself into pictures, unless I’m *trying* to take one of him, in which case he covers his face with a (still slightly chubby) hand and runs in the other direction.
Not sure if I see a little boy, but I see a tripod and Bill.
Ha! I was wondering if anyone would notice and mention that. I was going to Photoshop myself out, but it felt almost like a little signature there, down in the corner.
There is some sloppy Photoshopping in the picture with Sam in it that I haven’t gotten around to correcting yet. See it?
It’s like I’m looking at a Highlights book again. Only thing I see is a little something to the right of his left leg. What do I win?
Outstanding eye, sir! That is an artifact left over from the Photomatix HDR merging process. Also, look at sloppy masking at the upper right of the door and the double bevel along the right side of the glass…
You win a Ricky’s Rice Bowl, but you have to come to Maryland to claim it…
