More about my best good friend….
Jul 31st, 2008 by S. Anderson
In May of this year, my BGF and I drove to Athens, Georgia for a conference. It was a cute little town, and we took the first afternoon we got there to explore. After walking around in the heat, it actually wasn’t that bad, for a while, we decided to sit and hang out in this gorgeous little park on their campus until the evening event. The setting was perfect, I had great afternoon light, and I thought that I would take some pictures.
I love my BGF, but she is the hardest person to take pictures of ever! It involves a huge process starting with this. “What? Why do you want to take a picture of me?”
After that, I get the funny faces. As if she is trying to discourage the picture taking. She should know my now that I am far more persistent than that.
Then we move onto the laughing, which is usually brought on by the funny faces and my responses to them. I am normally telling her what to do at this point. “NO, don’t look at me.” “Turn your head over there.” I can get a little bossy. And, she always responds to me just like you should when I get bossy. She laughs at me.
But, the reason I get bossy is this is what I am going for. One of those brief instances behind a camera that I can capture what I see everyday. I love this picture of her because it so completely her.
Occasionally, we can even get one of the two of us together!
Okay, the first couple aren’t exactly my favorites, but I do realize that it’s what I do every time you pull a camera on me. But I really like the B&W one! And your comment is very nice–especially timely as I am having yet another bad hair day (damn fog…)
I Love these! it’s great to see Em, she looks fantastic, and you did a great job iwth these pictures!
I may have news. The boy is teasing me… We will see what happens.
