Ready for Her Close-up

Lately, Clio has become very interested in the camera. Well, more specifically, she has become very interested in having her picture taken. On the one hand, this was probably inevitable; any regular reader of this blog knows that there are thousands of pictures of Clio out there, documenting everything from the very mundane (wearing socks as gloves) to the more profound (minutes after her birth), so she was bound to either embrace or resent the camera.

Consider it embraced.

Now, when she does something (mundane or profound), she'll suggest that we take her picture. And then she poses- for a very close up mug shot, where she stares, doe-eyed, into the camera, and pointedly does not smile. The final, and perhaps most crucial stage in this game is to "see Clio" in the viewfinder. Pose, shoot, view, repeat. Here are a few recent results:




I will admit, this is actually an improvement over recent months when she was more apt to charge the camera, making it very difficult to get a clear shot of her doing anything.



How very celeb-battling-the-paps of her!
