Out Takes

This past week was filled with interviews. The next couple weeks we will be traveling, so I thought I would treat you to some blog out takes!

I have a camera on my Blackberry and iPad. Diane has an iPad and our nice Canon camera. So, as we are about, if we see something worthwhile, we snap a picture...or someone else will do it for us. It takes no time at all. At the end of the day if something blog-worthy has taken place we take a few minutes and put the photos together with the story on the blog. Here are some of the photos that did not quite make the grade for the blog.






Directly across the street from our home is a law office...nice photo of the sign...not.







Whatever I am trying to sell, Diane is not buying...






This is the famous Argentine actress that was with us at Iguazu Falls. At least this is the back of her...





Remember the owl in Bella Vista? This is what it looks like when you are so excited to see it that you do not focus the camera before you take a picture...






And this is what a hawk looks like with a catch in its mouth when you are so excited to see it you don't focus the camera...






Diane actually deserves a Pulitzer Prize for this one...we just couldn't figure out until now how to work a pig scratching itself into our blog...






This one almost had tragic results for the photographer!...






This is a great photo of us at McDonalds for the first time except no matter what we did, we could not get it right side up...






I was trying to put some perspective on to what it takes to buy groceries when you are feeding 30 missionaries at a dinner, but the receipt would not cooperate...






This is how I really felt about the prospect of eating Yacaré before I tasted it and found out it really does taste like chicken...

And, the out take of out takes...needs an explanation first. I said, "Let's take a picture of us kissing on the balcony with Iguazu Falls in the background." Diane asked, "How are you going to do that?" I responded, "Easy. I'll extend my arm as far as I can and take it with my Blackberry". So, I got everything lined up, Diane looked through the Blackberry to make sure we would be framed by the falls and then just as she walked up to me said, "You know, the kids are going to die when they see this picture..." which caused us both to laugh and me to move my arm out of position...the result of which is this memorable but regrettably captured moment...






Sorry kids...
