Lesson # 2... Give the candy out AFTER the photo shoot

My Father use to say "You learn something every day." Today I learned a good lesson, Wait till the end of the photo shoot to give out the candy. It was a good day actually and I has a degree of success with Buzz Lightyear. I like a few of them, but I did learn without that BRIBE, your nothing. Don't give out the candy folks... till after your done. Another lesson I learned today is that 4 is a young age to expect any real direction for a shoot. Im going to try to  go a bit older.

Maybe, Sorta, Kinda...

I think I might be getting closer to something, not positive but maybe...
I realized today an important part of composing an image is a cooperative model.
It is very difficult to photograph a small child that thinks they are spiderman when they are saving the universe. They wont stop to allow a picture! I think I might need an actual model. Or at least a kid that will sit still.
