In addition to the more spontaneous shots, we wanted Jiho to get some photos of the family together in the studio. So we plopped the kids on the big table where we work and started talking about stuff. Ideas, plot lines, characters, colors, formats, that sort of thing. We talked about making books.
By which I mean, “yelled” about making books.
Robbi was not to be left out of the yelling.
After the yelling was done, I pulled out my patented monkey face.
For my finale, I demonstrated that foolproof technique of writing in the air about nothing at all.
By the time we were done, we had forgotten all about making books. I think Kato was a little stunned. He asked to be allowed to go to his room, where he promptly fell asleep.
If any of you attempt to duplicate this counterintuitive, yet effective nap-inducement technique, please let me know how it works out.
Note: The photo(s) in this post were taken by photographer/blogger/developer/promoter of clean code Jiho Sohn. I encourage you to check out his site. Furthermore, Robbi, Matthew, Alden, Kato, August, and Iggy are currently on the Alaskan tundra, fishing commercially for sockeye salmon and trying to avoid stray bears. They will return on July 17, at which point real-time blogging will resume.
