I had a hard time believing him, as polite and easy to work with as he is. :)

He arrived with his brother, Chris, and we worked to put the final images into a project for their father that’s been years in the making …

The deal we made early on was that I wouldn’t torture him with my camera every belt along the way, but instead would simply snap here and there with my iPhone and G11 when he wasn’t looking. In exchange, when he earns his green belt, he’ll stand for a couple of frames in-studio, no big deal.

It took us 15 minutes and more than just a couple of frames to get warmed up:

… mostly because my extremely talented, smart, focused and responsible firstborn gets unusually squirrelly in front of my lens. Like clockwork, he goes through all the predictable photo sabotage efforts, including (but not limited to) dead, zombie, head-hung-low, disinterested … :

So I pulled out my best trick I have in my bag: give me a good smile for the grandparents, and tonight after dark, we’ll go outside and practice with fireworks for my Fourth of July post. :)

Twenty-two years! I remember that day as if it were yesterday. Although, looking back, it still feels like high school took four decades for me to get through — well, except for algebra and the day we had to cut up frogs in biology (thank you, Bill Barry, for stealthily cutting mine for me without getting caught!), those seemed more like a lifetime.

Each decade since then seems more like one long week. :)

Best of luck to you, Kendall …
