Embrace the Camera {writing time}

Yesterday for Embrace The Camera I set my camera up across the room and used its timer. We are only all at the table doing school for about 20 minutes each day – everyone spreads out later. I don’t have any pictures of this time of our day with me in them. Chris wasn’t home, so I couldn’t ask him to take any.

On the counter across the room, I stacked two books and a canister with a flat lid, topped with my camera. I focused where I would be sitting and then turned on the timer and jumped back in the shot. I put my camera on silent so I couldn’t hear when it was taking the picture; it helped me try to keep the shot a little more natural. Oddly enough my kids never skipped a beat or asked why I was running back and forth between helping them with their work!

That last photo made me laugh when I saw it. My girl tells some wild stories. She’s is always making me laugh.
