Another Charlie Chaplin photo
Back in March I took this photo of Brett
it even won 3rd place at the fair. Its one of my favorites.
I pulled the clothes back out just a few weeks ago because they are part of Brett's Christmas outfit. At that time I was thinking how much I would love to do another Charlie Chaplin photo but didnt think there was another way to do it.
THEN
while at LAX I saw hanging on the wall a photo of Charlie Chaplin and a dog and I just KNEW I had to recreate it.
I had the idea that I had wished I had a few weeks earlier.
So I just had to wait for the weather to be nice, Brett in a good mood and for there to be nothing else planned that day and hope to get a keeper.
Its not easy trying to get a 20 month old and a dog to cooperate but I kept trying and it paid off.
I got a shot I love.
(I mean I NEVER get both of them looking at me...EVER!)
Extra and Photo info: Used my Canon 40D, Canon 50mm 1.4 lens, 1/200, f2.8, ISO 400 (since I knew i was going for an old time look i upped my ISO as noise wouldnt be a bad thing). A funny behind the scenes note is that Brett is almost too tall for these pants and so they are actually pulled down, he is sitting on his diaper on the ground :) Also the shoes fit him actually are almost too small. Amazing how the top photo everything was soooo large and now 7 months later everything is on the verge of being too small.
it even won 3rd place at the fair. Its one of my favorites.

OMG! Its perfect! How lucky for you to get them both looking at the same time! Were you working along? Kudos to you! I tried taking a picture of my 12 year old and the dog and I couldn't get EITHER ONE to coorporate with me!
These are precious! I loved the first one of him alone ( that won 3rd place, and this one is great too! Good job!
