Normally I don’t post stuff like this.  I know that the school pictures portraits from the large studios are not exactly fine art portraiture, but after seeing this craptastic portrait of Jack taken by the “professional” school pictures portrait studio, I couldn’t resist.  And yes….we actually spent $12.50 for a portrait of our son who looks terrified of the photographer.  If this is the best they could do with a child who is used to having his picture taken, it terrifies me to think what the portraits of his classmates look like.

And for the record….here’s how he normally looks…….

Oh, and in the interest of full disclosure…we were under no obligation to purchase any of the pictures.  We could’ve simply returned all the pictures without paying anything.
