The Chaos of Being a Father
Since I am starting a blog entitled "Fatherhood," I thought it would only be appropriate that start it with a picture of me with my family. After posting the picture, I realize that it looks really small, so I might go back and crop it so that you can see my beautiful family's faces. You will also be able to see (or not see) the 'flawless' Photoshop job I had to do to make this presentable for our Christmas card. If you have more than one child, I don't have to elaborate on the incredibly rare opportunity of having everyone do their part for a family photo. The fact that I had to make the edit in the first place fits perfectly into our already chaotic life. One of your three children having an off day and caught smiling only once in an assault of camera clicks... No Problem. A little known secret is that Photoshop was actually created by a father who just wanted back control (and his sanity) in the quest for a family portrait suitable enough to hang on a fridge. Thank you fellow father! Job well done.
I didn't know that was the reason behind photoshop- cool!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarai!
DeleteI miss being in a room with 6 brilliant women.
Thank you, Sarai, for being the first person to respond to my blog. Just so you know, I really have no idea who invented Photoshop or the concept. Much like in real life, when I write I tend to have a dry sense of humor. You won't see many 'Lol's" from me so just assume I am being silly.

DeleteHey Chase, why did you underline those specific words in blue so when I press them it comes up page has disappeared?Am I missing something?You have a lovely family and I think your title and topic is appropriate.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! Please let us know when you update! Would like to give a better comment on a post about the 'chaos' but I agree that it must be difficult to get a photo of you all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family. I did not know that about Photoshop. How interesting.
ReplyDeleteToday I learned about photoshop... I love it when I learn something!
ReplyDeleteI cant even explain how many times I've had a great photo and one person ruined it. Thank God for Photoshop and the skills I acquired in college to remedy those situations. I totally feel your pain on this!
ReplyDeleteHA! What a precious family. You all will remember how hectic this photo's process was and laugh at it later on :) I loved your thoughts during our class discussions and on the blogs. I'm glad to hear a father's perspective when discussing ideas on feminism and issues they entail. Thank you!
