You may have seen my son, Elias, modeling for our Christmas portraits on the ‘events’ page of our website. Well, guess what: he wasn’t the first choice for the Little Photography Christmas Model position.

That’s right. He came sauntering in and stole the job from me. We had already taken these top-notch shots of me in the snow before he came along with his youthful cuteness.

If you feel, as I do, that the images of me in the snow are more poignant and touching than his, leave a comment of support.

Thank you.

I wanted to share some sites that I've wasted way too much time on.

www.Pandora.com

You can create your own online radio station that is tailor made for you. You input songs that you're into and Pandora builds a station around them, playing those songs and songs like it. It's designed to help people find new music they'll like.

Be sure to use headphones if you're at work, especially if your station is created around Los Del Rio's 90's classic, “Macarena”. Nobody wants to hear that.

www.Badgerbadgerbadger.com

You'll be mesmerized by the badger's chant. I can't look away whenever I see it.

Set this as your coworkers' homepage.

www.Engrish.com

Funny things happen when non-English speakers try to speak English. Check out all of these flubbed phrases. You'll laugh your socks off (or on if they were off already).
Phew! It's been busy around here.

Fall on the Farm has been a huge success; Cindy has been working through a brazillian images; I've been revamping our website to dazzle all the new eye balls that will be looking at it; Safe Trick-or-Treat night has come and gone; we're ramping up for Christmas portraits; and we're working hard in the Little Photography lab on fresh ideas for next year.

So those are my excuses for letting the Secret Blog slide to the back burner. I think the best way to get back into the swing of things is to post this picture Aaron found at his grandmother's house in an old Bible.



That's me at the head of the table, looking dignified as the most dressed up guy in the group. That's Aaron to the left of me.

Some of you may not know what Aaron and I look like now, so you might not appreciate this as much as others. We think this must have been taken when we were high school seniors.

I had no idea we looked so young back then. I busted out my college ID from 2004 to confirm.

Note the difference between 2004 Matt and 2007 Matt. Same smirk. Less frontal assault from the hair.


Aaron has developed grey hair like an old man (can't tell in this picture too much), but probably acts less mature than he did back then.

I also found this picture of Cindy from 2000. I didn't realize she used to have blue hair and crazy wolverine eyelashes.
