Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall

If you saw the weird girl taking pictures of herself and her husband in a mirror in an ice cream shop in Jackson Hole last week... it was me.

I was still trying to get a picture of the two of us together and thought it would be perfect to get one in the ice cream shop.  But there were a TON of people and I still haven't quite perfected the "Hey will you (drop everything your doing, your conversation, your ice cream, your purse, your own camera and) take a picture of us?"  I mean, I don't mind at all when I'm asked... but do others?

There we were, standing in line and Jaren get's a phone call.  He goes outside and I'm standing in front of this mirror and I want to get him in it, too.  So, I'm testing it out and taking a few pictures of myself to get the settings right and the line is moving!  There is a little break in line in front of me and a guy starts moving towards it.  And that is where this comes from:

See this face?  It says, "Who do you think you are?  Can't you see I'm in LINE?!"  Then I saw that he was just going to talk to his wife who was in front of me.  Oopsey....

Jaren came in and I was past the mirror.  We got our ice cream and I asked the people who were about to move in front of the mirror if we could take a picture.  He waited, but obviously his look says, "Hey lady, hurry up so I can get MY ice cream!"  Jaren wasn't very excited about the idea, if you can't tell.  But being the good wonderful husband he is he stood there for me.  But didn't smile.  Ah well.  It was a little awkward. 

On a side note I'm running an August Special for my photog business.  Here is the flier or check it out at whitneykathleen.com

Some people just don't get it when YOU see something beautiful in something ordinary!
