My Version DAY 15

MY 

VERSION

THROUGH

MY 
WORLD

IS MY

VISION

AND...

Well... 
a little bit 

ridiculous. 

But... just a little.

 wink wink. 

Well,  I'M SORRY!

I just wasn't brave enough to go nude for the world...

I WOULD HAVE to be BANANAS to do that!

 So, I put on an old 1 piece that is extremely flattering. 

BECAUSE it is a TIGHT Speedo!

AND as EVERYONE KNOWS.....

Tight Speedos are KNOWN for being VERY flattering. 

Oh, what?

Am I wrong?

And.. we thought the Christmas bows would be a nice touch. 

You know, cause I'm classy like that. 

My heart goes out to Channel's model. 

My quads were/is/are SHAKING!!! As if I had just gotten done running a 400 full speed ahead. 

That was a HARD pose to do!

I had to hold it for 2 shots. Well, really more like 20....

One with the ball. One without the ball. And then, run back to the camera and check.

DARN, how did my feet get cut off in that shot? Did you move the camera Daughter #1? 

Back to hugging the ball... then letting it go... running back to camera.

DARN, why did I lean forward so much after I let go of the ball? 

Back to sucking in my tummy and trying to smile and pretend to sleep. 

Click, let go of ball, click, run back to camera.

DARN! Why did my left hand go SUPER JAZZ HANDS after I let go of the ball? 

Finally, I thought I had gotten the 2 shots I wanted. 

Shot 1

I combined the shots to get the transparent ball...

So, yes, there was some editing on this one! BUT only to the ball... although very tempted to liquefy certain parts... I have promised not to. 

I combined the pictures just like you would if "swapping heads." Just like so many photographers have to do in large family photos.

Like when little David decides to stick out his tongue at cousin Megan in picture #1, but looks like a complete angel in picture #2. BUT, in picture #2,  85% of the family has their eyes closed.

simple fix.

head swap. 

bam.

done.

David now looks like an angel in picture #1.

And David's mom will never know the difference. 

And David gets a treat and taken out for a banana split for being so good for the photographer. 

ANYWAY....

Here is Shot #2

HOWEVER & Disclaimer... the transparent ball and the hands was a lot more tricky than just a simple head swap and doesn't look as "clean" as it should.

Oh well... that's ok...luckily this is just a blog and not a REAL fashion magazine. 

Picture: 50mm, f3.2, 1/200 ISO 200

AND of course... a Banana song for you listening pleasure. 
But not just any banana song, a banana song that will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
