Stormy WeatherI'm still running behind on photos thanks to an internet connection outage.  This would have been yesterday's shot.

For the record, this is not a green screen shot.  Not that anyone has suggested that to me.  But when I look at it, I think that.  So someone else probably will too.  Again, this is an example of a camera being able to give an inaccurate portrayal of events.  This was shot on a perfectly nice day in which it did not rain at all.  But we did have some ugly clouds in the sky for all of about twenty minutes or so.  I exposed the shot for the clouds and then used the flash to illuminate my son, creating this dramatic look.

Also for the record, I do not favor one son over the other, despite what you might think from the 5 to 1 ratio of Colin photos to Aiden photos.  It just happens that because of our various schedules, right now I spend a lot more time with Colin.  And so you get more Colin pictures.  He will be delighted when schedules change and I start torturing Aiden with more photo shoots.  Just because I like taking their picture doesn't mean they like having their picture taken.
