3 takes

take 1. 10-second pose. oooops father was covered, ooooops serge covered.

take 2. timer started. ooh glen was hidden.

take 3. click!

with whatever household props our hands held onto, the best shot of the century was taken inside the small house in san jose. even our dog, serge, strikes a model pose, as if he listened to the directives. it took 3 takes to capture the natural, the fun, the memory of a lifetime. all happened in 10 seconds, one night, when father came to visit us.
