Thanks Marjorie.
The rest of the story goes like....
My 36yo hand (ummm... not too hard to pick) holding son Zed's 2yo hand, holding Sarah's 4 yo hand, holding wife Paula's.... better stop there eh
The idea was good and it has worked pretty well, but now I know why they say dont work with animals and children, my 2yo thought we were playing a game and wanted to start jumping everytime we got into "formation"
I would love to do this shot every year now, it would make an awesome time lapse showing our aging and the kids growth. Now if I can talk the family into a daily shot... 355 per year, 25 frames per second, 14 seconds per year of video... how long do I have to live to make it a feature length movie time lapse.... about 385 years.

Great idea. If it weren't for the all the controversy recently, I'd say this is a great family 'portrait' I'm planning on a shot that involves some children, so thanks for the warning as well. Best of luck
Cheers Nancy I didnt think of this as a family portrait but now you mention it (nah... I wont go there either)
Shooting with children... fast shutter or get em when they are asleep
I love the "family portrait" idea. The transition between small and large, light and heavy, young and old(er) is beautiful. Great balance. A very nice image!
Gosh thanks Lightworker (Steve?). There is a good story in there of four lives with unique perspectives, differing interests but a common life-long bond that is family.... and as they say, you cannot choose your relatives.
…but I refuse to call this a portrait, I wont call this a portrait, I shouldn’t call this a portrait, do you think I should change the title to “Four Freeman Family Fore Portrait” or try and work BBQ sauce into it somewhere!
Andy - what a neat idea. I'll bet the kids were having a great time with this. A once a year shot of this will be priceless as time goes by. Good luck!
