So Sunday afternoon Luna and StarGirl reminded me they had a "big project" due the next morning all about the Greek Gods. It was a big project, but they had a plan, and their teacher had told them they could work together as a team to make things simpler. They had talked about making a movie with their friends or videoing a commercial, but in the end they chose to each dress up like six of the gods (that would be 12 total) and make a powerpoint with some picniked up photos. They wanted to know if I would be their photographer.
I looked at the clock. It was a little after one and we had dinner at Grandma's at 5:00. That left four hours. So I felt that with those time constraints a little lecture was warranted. It went something like this: Yes, I will take your pictures. But, you should know, that creativity is much like a gas. . . it will take up as much space as you give it. And you guys have a limited time this afternoon. Since you tend to get really caught up in the creative process on picnik, you'll really have to pace yourself. So what I'm saying in a nutshell is don't go overboard.
Three hours later I was done taking their pictures.
Ummmmmm. . . sounds like mom could use a lecture.






But aren't the results fantastic?
