December Challenge: Day 4 – Rex Auer

Rex Auer is a wrestler, an aviator, a truck driver, an Indy Car racer, an artist, and many more things — plus he's my son. He likes to show off his “muscles” when wearing his wrestling mask (which actually came from Monterrey), so we played around with the wireless flash to throw some shadows.

December 5, 2007hahaha, I’m working up to it. Probably this weekend so I can get out and meet a really random stranger. I was thinking Pacific Beach — they’ve got some real neat ones out there.

December 5, 2007Thanks Susheel, but that’s a tall order to live up to — I still have a majority of the month to go!

December 10, 2007it looks like your son does have muscles – so cute 🙂 very cool shadow effect
it’s hard but so fun to photograph kids, isn’t it? My 2.5 y.o. daughter is growing up to be a model, she absolutely loves posing, then she runs to me, asking – “Did you take the picture?”, looking at it on my camera’s LCD and screaming – “hey, that’s me!” 🙂

December 10, 2007I know it, my kids love it too. It usually takes twice as long to photograph them versus anyone else because they have to see every shot.
