the smedley log - suburban scrawl

Tuesday trio

Anthony’s weBLOG has some tips on how to make yourself more photogenic – which may be useful to those who find themselves on the wrong end of the camera.

Speaking of cameras, Tony’s got some shocking photos of the house plant that’s gone all Blob on his abode. (Check it out, but you may want to hide the kids first.)

And Yoko passes along a story to demonstrate how, even amidst the horrid heat (95, but it feels like a hundred, or so I’m told), a friendly face can brighten one’s mood.

it’s funny to read advice for being on the other side of the camera

Thanks for the shout-out!

Albert – I have a nephew whose face tends to be on the active side, causing some pretty odd-looking photos. Just when I think it’s safe to take the picture, his expression will suddenly alter in the strangest ways. I’m sure he doesn’t care about it now (he’s 8), but someday he may.

Yoko – you’re welcome. It seemed like a nice story, sort of an antidote to the misery of all this heat.
