This is my Sister Amanda. She's younger than I am...I'm not going to
say how much younger. Let's just say she's the baby of 6 kids, and I'm in the upper half
of 6 kids. She has a look, or a pose that she does in every picture she puts on
facebook. This is her "top half" pose. Camera angled down, eyes looking up. Sometimes
she has her lips in a little pucker/pout because she says it makes your cheek bones stand out.
And sometimes she has her mouth partially open. Remember: this is only her "top half" pose.
She has a whole different one when you see her "whole body". But, I'm not here to spot-
light that pose today. I'm just keeping it basic, simple, and straight forward.
I've been trying to master this pose that she does. It's a serious thing to master if you want
your shots to turn out just right, and my gosh....I'm tired of all the ugly pictures
that people are posting all over faces-pace and blogger-land. It's time I make
you all aware that you're posing all wrong. So, here are some of my attempts to
master this pose. It's a hard thing to do. It always takes me so long to get a decent photo.
Maybe if I start taking them with my phone rather than my camera I would get a
better picture. But remember, I'm just practicing. I have yet to learn the art of the "perfect
pose". As soon as I master the "top half" pose, I'll move on the the "whole body". It
might take a while longer. Or maybe I'll just watch Zoolander and master the
"blue steel" look. I don't know which one is more flattering.
