Peace & Boy II

Seven years ago this week, years before the launch of timricephoto, I shot a photo of my kids that got me a lot of attention. My wife was on a business trip, I set up a backdrop in the yard and thought we would surprise her with the print when she got home. We needed a stool for then 7 year old Danny to be as tall as 9 year old Anna. We named the photo Peace & Boy. Now if you have met my children, you know this is a simple, yet accurate depiction of my kids. It still hangs in my house and was even the first image used on timricephoto business cards. 7 years later, Danny slouched a bit for the shot today so Anna could catch up to his height and we swapped sides for no other reason than I am not arguing with teenagers (I said they were on the wrong side, but no one listened to me).  The concept is still accurate, if not more so now, but so many other things have changed. One is about to be a black belt the other is weeks from getting behind the wheel of a car. I love the original shot, but I remember being frustrated trying to get it photographed before the sun dropped. Today it was “Hey, do Peace and Boy” and bang instant pose. They are easier to work with now, I am sure it has to do with simply appeasing the old man and his camera, so they can move on.
