I realized today that I use a lot of photos of Bailey where he is looking out of the side of one of his eyes. It is one of my favorite expressions to capture of his. I think the reason why I tend to prefer photos of him like this is because of his dark eyes. Bailey’s eyes are very very dark brown, which normally just appear black in both photos and real life. When I am able to capture that little bit of white in his eyes, I feel like it adds so much more expression and personality in his face. It also makes him look a little mischievous.
Thanks for everyone’s comments on the new watermark/logo in yesterday’s post. I’m torn between the new and the old. The opinions in the previous thread seem to be split down the middle. I agree with most everyones points about the two. They are definitely different as well so there are ups and downs to each. I liked my old one, but I felt like it was too obtrusive and bulky in photos. However I am really liking the simplicity of the new one. One problem that I ran into with the old watermark was that I had to place it in a corner because it would be too distracting anywhere else in the photo, and there wouldn’t always be room, or the right colored background for it in the corners, or it would throw off the overall composition of the photo. The new one can pretty much go wherever in the photos without bringing too much attention away from the picture. I’m leaning towards keeping this design for the photos, however still using the old design whenever I get off my butt and make/order business cards.
