Photos from 42
Published by Deanna Hoak July 10th, 2008 in blogBlaine, my lovely nine-year-old, did a photo shoot for me when she got home from book-making camp today. (Scans from her book to follow, since I have her full permission. ;-))
I don’t know which I’ll substitute as my bio photo yet. Maybe I’ll actually try some without my belly showing. It looks to me like I can still get away with the crop tops, though, so I’m going to take advantage while I can. :-) Surely it won’t last much longer.
Herewith my daughter’s wonderful work. I think she’s a very talented photographer!

I dunno. Maybe the upside-down one would be good. :-)

Are you sure you’re 42?
Upside down is fun, but I think I’d go for the first one, except cropped to feature mainly you and the brightly lit leaf.
Deanna: Allow me to say, the crop top is still working.
At 41, and in decent shape, I don’t think I can really get away with showing that much skin (different body image issues for men. I am just too thin to think I look good shirtless on film).
Um…wow.
Great photos! You look great, Deanna. And, your official photographer has a great eye for composition.
Lovely pics and I think you can wear crop tops for a long while yet ;)
I’d go for the first one too, it’s really nice.
I don’t believe you’re 42, either… And may I say, you keep a very tidy desk. :)
Another vote for the first picture - great composition and contrast. They’re all lovely, though. Well done to Blaine!
Sounds like you had a very happy birthday. I vote for the top photo. It looks great.
Yes. I agree with Jess.
Yes. Get away with it for as long as you can. Which, by the looks of it, may be a long, long time.
