That Sticky-Fingered minx Tara has done it again! Yet another theme to fox and baffle me:
I adore some of the portrait shots on there (Pinterest) – kids, grandparents, families, friends, strangers. People whose faces are steeped in history or children whose faces show potential and a lifetime ahead of them.
So this week's theme is simply:Β Faces.
And the reason it baffled me is because my photos for 'Inspiration' were photos of The Boy's face, grrr!
So for most of the day I've struggled, I've seen a few posts here and there and thought "oh, I wish I'd come up with that take!"and in all honesty I've been gutted that I couldn't think of some photos to use. I post so many every week with my 365 project that any I could use would have been seen before.
However, I've just been synching the iPod and came across some classics from my treasure pot. The Boy is rather fond of the front-facing lens on the camera function, and this is what I'll often find on there if he's been left alone with it:
It always makes me chuckle to look through the camera roll and see 4o-odd shots nearly all the same but with a changing facial expression, normally him laughing as he's realising what he's doing!
So I asked him to pull some different faces for me, and this is the result:
Which expressions do you think he's pretending to show?
