Student Council Portrait

September 1, 2009

My 7th grader comes home last week and tells me that he wants to run for Student Council.  Of course, I am a proud father and truly didn’t think much more about it other than the obvious stuff.  But last night he comes home and says that he needs to make posters for school.  And that is where my head starts to rush with excitement, because, boy do I have ideas!

I took a few shot of him last night and went to work at it.  When I showed this to him, in typical 13 year old fashion, he just rolled his eyes.  I don’t blame him; but I think it is not only good, but funny and memorable.  I asked him if people would like it, and he said that yes, and that it would stand out as he doubted that many other students had parents that knew PhotoShop.  See, there are some skills that come in handy even for a 13 year old.
