Rookie Dad: The Youngling's famous

It was a hurried weekend and the mood of The Youngling on Friday night didn't help matters any. The wife was trying to get a squirrely and tired Youngling to cooperate and get her photo taken. After about an hour of trying, we both conceded failure and decided to try again Saturday morning.

Thankfully, her mood had done a complete 180 by Saturday morning. It was photo shoot time and the just fed and bathed 6-plus month old hammed it up for the camera. She squealed, rolled, cooed and played. She giggled, laughed and played some more.


When it was all said and done, we quickly perused the 100-plus photos and chose one to be printed. It was tough because there were a dozen or so that were worthy of billboards but we showed restraint and quickly uploaded the file to our favorite photo lab.

Within an hour the photo was framed and ready to be hung and on its way to... wait for it... an art show. That's right, the little handful, captured in black and white, is now locally famous. The Savage Arts Council art show opens this Saturday and The Youngling is officially a part of the photography category. I'd share the photo here but what fun would that be?

Check out my and the wife's photography at the Savage Arts Council art show at 4375 123rd St., Savage starting this weekend and running through July 18.
