Epic Adventure #5 A PhotoDate! (Be your own model!)

Yes, cheezzzyyy...but I love cheese! (much to the detriment of my lactose intolerant self...sadness that...)

ANYWAY! This date is all being super cheesy. Now, if you hate your picture being taken, or if you can't handle the sweet, then this might not be for you.

So, down to the basics. Do you remember back in the day when it was popular to get your photos taken down at the mall? Something like "Star Photos", where you would get wallet sized photos that had you and a friend/partner/dog/etc and the images always had that softened look to them. It was slightly ridiculous, no lie. You would then pass out your pics at school to your friends (and because they gave you too many) and to your frienemies.

So this is a better take on that idea.

So, this DOES involve you knowing someone who handles a camera rather well. In other words, get a friend who you both like and ask them to be the photographer for you. (Personally, I love taking pictures and would totally enjoy the chance to have a couple of free models). You then pick a couple of random locations and commence snapping shots of being together.

Here's an example of what I mean. I took this pic for a wedding, but I love the idea of taking pictures of those random moments you and your special someone have together. (Plus, this is WAY better, then the whole Wallet sized wonders ^_~)

So, to reCap:

  1. Ask a photographer friend to take pictures.
  2. Pick a couple of locations (and if you are really ambitious, some different outfits)
  3. Take pictures (DON'T FORGET TO SMILE!!!)
  4. The come back and tell me how it went.
