not the best of weeks, this…..
(it began for me on wednesday with): oh dear - have 'stolen' photo of sobbing child - but my conscience (yup; I have one!) will not let me use it seeing as I poked my camera in her face at her most vulnerable.....
(then toni on thursday): i was thinking less 'tears' as opposite of smile and more 'belligerent, frowning, stroppy, teen' - MUCH more photo opportunity if i pursue this tack...ok! snap! snap! BF 'sorted' lightroom for me at weekend, which means i can now locate NONE of my pictures (and on sunday): I have a picture…..but simply can not get it from camera to computer... Bah. Am hoping to get usb cable from chum tomorrow, and will try this way. So sorry. I lured youngest daughter into looking brooding for me... and caught her like that... only to leave the room and hear her SCREAM on account of a painted, ornamental horse-shoe falling off the shelf and flat on her head. As with you, it felt too merciless, shoving my camera into her tear-strewn, distressed, mascara-smeared face (but only just... I <did> try to start to piece a request for a photo together in my head...) so I guess this makes me very much NOT a proper photographer... and capa et al, need not worry...
Hope you have A Shot
(and in reply): phew? have definitely abandoned idea of sobbing student; she looked so very distraught poor thing - and very accusing - as did her friend (of whom I have a great pic!) - therefore have had to resort to a glum looking dog not being taken for a walk - unless unless unless.....I try and do something in the classroom tomorrow - maybe we can look at different emotions.....(this methinks would fit in rather neatly with current unit of inquiry which is on conflict resolution); am therefore VERY happy to postpone upload and blog post until tomorrow evening; have a GOOD evening - unlucky horseshoes notwithstanding. ouch!!
(toni): I also had Baleful Dog Shot! Great unexploitative minds work alike! And thanks for the extension, miss. X
(jenny): well - a whole extra day made NO difference, in spite of a classroom full of children (it was me with the opposite of a smile on my face for most of the day.....) so I guess it's back to glum mutts for me.....
Oh and PS
(toni): paris was fab - and day after i submitted 'minimal' horizon, took utterly lovely minimally horizony shot, at the estuary near le crotoy, in the somme. will forward when uploaded. [is an image i had already formed in my head, but couldn't locate pre-deadline; like when i go shopping and declare, 'i need a cropped, fitted lilac cardi with real pearl buttons.. and my friend begins to weep, knowing the relentless futility of the pursuit...]
