The Brother

The brother lives in the same town as my parents. Because it’s such a long drive, we don’t see each other very often. The question I always ask when I see him is “Do you have a girlfriend?” I suppose it could get annoying. The boy and the girl love to see him and they spend all their time together goofing off.

Now that I have my new camera, I try to get more candid shots rather than having people pose but it wasn’t always that way. These are pictures taken with my point and shoot camera last Thanksgiving. It was a simple request, “Guys, I want a picture of the three of you.”  Sometimes, they get impatient with the process.

Everyone smile, I mean EVERYONE.

No, NICE smiles please.

If you just do what I ask, we’d be done by now.

All right guys, really, just smile.

If you would hurry up and smile you can watch the game.

Seriously guys.

Quit messing around.

If you don’t cut it out, I’ll feed you to the fish in little pieces.

The perfect happy family.

By the way, I never did find Jim today. Hope he’s doing well. And the girl still misses her horse.

We really miss you Joker!
