One of my more exalted positions in life is to serve as Sue's tripod. When she needs to include herself in her own photos, well AC carries her camera (phone) and stands where she tells him to stand. He then points the camera and presses the shutter. He shows her the result, and she will tell him what to do next.
Her group prompt yesterday was to take a picture showing where her feet were at 3pm. But it also had to have something to do with her hometown.
She decided to feature Roy Brown, our WWI flying ace who is credited with shooting down the Red Baron. Roy was born here in Carleton Place, and we celebrate his accomplishment.
Sue posed in front of the Roy Brown mural while positioned strategically to hide a garbage pail behind her.
It was an option, but that is not the main reason for going downtown, and we had quite a bit of time before 3 o'clock to take many many shots with the new statue of Roy.
Now I sing this song

I'm a lowly tripod
Tall and fatI serve my lady SusanneThis is where I'm at
Nice photos..though in different angles.
ReplyDeleteFunny funny man ... I like your little song. Thankfully Sue knows what she wants, so there's that. I like the one of her with the statue & checking her watch.
ReplyDeleteI sang along to your tripod song!
ReplyDeleteNot a bad job if you can get it! Great pictures, AC. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are all great, and I wonder if her group all know who he is. I guess Sue will tell them. Collage is very cool. Your poetry/song is just right.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your beautiful wife! Cute song too, to the tune of I'm a Little Teapot? I must admit if I had to drive to town to take a photo at 3pm, well, I guess I'd have to skip it. Town is 20 minutes of very bumpy road away, and at 3pm I was up to my elbows in mulch, lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of Sue and Roy Brown. She is a marvelous director! I didn't know who Roy Brown was so I looked him up. Quite the hero and amazing that he survived the war as well. I'm humming your song as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou wonder what Roy would think of the recognition.
ReplyDeleteThe specificity of that prompt is shocking to me! feet + 3 o'clock + hometown! That's a lot. Whoever is coming up with these prompts should be given some sort of award.
ReplyDeleteSue looks great and it looks like you had great fun!
That's an interesting prompt and a clever way to carry it out.
ReplyDeleteI like the one with the mural.
ReplyDeleteInteresting bit of history included there with the photos.
ReplyDeleteNice shots despite the backtalk from the tripod!
ReplyDeleteLove your little song -- and the pix! You are a good sport indeed!
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic for a photograph.
ReplyDeleteLol. Great song. Love that statue too. Just a kid!
ReplyDeleteYou have a terrific purpose in life!
ReplyDeleteEvery photographer needs a gopher.
