School Picture Day

Today was Orin's school picture day.
I thought very little about whether or not
to have someone else photograph my son.
Besides the problem that Orin often refuses to smile for pictures,
especially for strangers,
and the fact that the pictures cost
approximately the same as a down payment on a modest house,
the overwhelming reason I refused them
was that I likely have 500 pictures
of Orin from this year alone
and even the pros can't catch moments like this one.

Maybe I will start ordering them in Kindergarten,
or when he smiles for strangers behind the camera,
whichever comes first.
