Alternatively: How NOT To Take a Jumping Photo
The Walk for Hunger was last weekend, and although I have a blog coming about the walk itself, I have a very funny story to tell you that must be told in pictures.
A preface
After finishing our 20 mile jaunt through Boston, my friend and I wanted to take a celebratory photo. M-dog* suggested a photo in which the both of us are jumping, so he asked his colleague to take a photo of us in jubilant airborne exultation.
*he’s actually asked to remain nameless, but his concession to let me post these on the internet is worth a solid nickname.
We thought it would be a straightforward process, but M-dog’s camera did not take rapid-fire shots, as his colleague trusted it would and strongly believed it should. The result is a lot of photos in the pre-planning stages of jumping, preparing to jump, and landing, but none with us both in the air.
My consistent attitude is “okay, but when do I get to eat?”
And M-Dog’s is “this is going to be the best photo ever. It’s GOING to be, I know it.”
I had originally added captions to the photos, but I think it’s better without commentary. (You can make your own, I’m sure.) I do, however, prefer the idea of seeing each picture by clicking rather than scrolling down quickly because you really ought to focus on the facial expressions, so here’s a link that works better.
TRY THAT FIRST.
Seriously.
If it fails, you can check the pictures out below.
Enjoy.
M-dog thinks his colleague needs help.
M-dog decides to experiment with me as a jumper.
Okay, one more time.
It can be done!! M-dog gets the colleague back involved.
We try one final time.
And that is how to NOT to take a photo of two people jumping.
Or do, and post them to the internet.
Whatever.

They Call Me Fushilou 
You know what they say about white men and jumping.
I thought that was dancing?
hahahahahahahahahahahahah! Made my day. Also, I am wearing my necklace and if I didn’t look so awful I would show you how not to take your own picture with either the cell phone or camera.
should clarify it is the beautiful necklace you sent me for our anniversary. Thank you. Loved the card too. My prayers were answered the day you came into this world.
I’m so glad you like it 🙂
But just to clarify, you loved the card? So then you read the part where it said “Don’t open until Mother’s Day”?
