Humorous pictures are Quite rare—[and perhaps that is the very reason they have such lasting appeal. If you want snapshots in your album that will never grow old, then keep your eyes open for picture chances that tickle your funny bone.
There are plenty of such opportunities, particularly round homes that have children—which is not to say, of course, that grown-ups don't have their absurd moments too. And if you stay alert for such moments. with your camera loaded and placed where you can get it readily, you'll likely garner some much-prize for your album.
Sometimes, it's true, you'll have to re-enact things to get your picture. For example, when you find Johnny has been raiding the cockle-jar again. just let him demonstrate how he did it, for the camera—and his guilty look will give you a picture that takes high rank, in your collection.
When the youngest member of the family gathers his toys and toddies off to bed, finds he can't quite make the grade, and drops off to sleep half in bed and half out—then you have another picture opportunity well worth seizing. Such a shot, comic yet so heart-warming. holds more appeal than a handful of routine snaps.
Some situations merit a picture but the circumstances don't recommend taking it immediately. For example, when Daddy goes to hang a picture, but hamm his thumb instead. In such a case, just wait until things cool down a bit—then shoot a picture of him blowing on the injured member, with the hammer and stepladder in the immediate back-hami.
It's fun to think up ideas for humerous pictures. Recall funny things that have happened in the past—then re-enact them for the camera. These shots lend spice to your album—they'll give extra pleasure to you and your friends, specially if you do them realistically. And meanwhile. always keep your camera loaded and handy, ready to picture the funny little events that may occur almost any time round the home. she Irving plant and patents three years.
