He IS wearing clothes. It was a swimming suit. We went to the pack meeting at the park. It was a water activity. But McKay decided about 15 minutes into it that he was going home. So Darwin watched the other kids and I walked home with McKay. He sat on one of the rocks in the front for quite awhile, and I practiced using the manual mode and trying to get the right exposures. I think we both had a lot of fun.McKay is kind of a tricky model, because he has a hard time looking right at people, so he is always looking off into the distance. He also is NEVER ever still. So focus is a challenge. I also learned that, if left to its own devices, my camera will invariably choose ears to focus on. So I have to take control and tell it I want the EYES to be the center of focus. It's all interesting to learn. McKay kept telling me, "A model has to stay very still." I think he got that from Max and Ruby.
Besides, it is probably a good idea to always have a clear, very current picture of McKay on hand...just in case.
