Mad Props
Posted by Liza under Personal, The Real Live Boy
I have to give mad props to my friend Dave, who just provided my new ABSOLUTE FAVORITE picture of The King.
You see, while my parents were visiting, my Mom took this fabulous picture of me and The King. Unfortunately, I had a big brown something stuck in my teeth.
I have zero photoshop-type skills. I tried, pathetically, to edit the picture, but just made it worse.
And then today, while I was thinking about the fact that Dave and his wonderful wife Lizzie are at the worst point in pregnancy (38 weeks), I realized that I have a friend who could probably get rid of that food spot in a New York minute. And that’s about how much time he had left to do this project before he became Daddy to a newborn.
So I asked.
And not only did he send me a beautiful food-free picture, he ALSO sent this delightfully twisted one. Which I am ordering as a photo mug just as soon as I finish this post.
Thanks again, Dave!!!

where’s the twisted one? do we get to see?
that’s a great picture, and great work by dave. if you ever need such services again while dave is indisposed being a new dad, travis is excellent at photoshop as well, he used to work for a newspaper in imaging.

Great photo! I was always a big fan of the Vulcans. Now you can just tell Noah when he’s screaming that he is being illogical.

What a great picture. And so glad that Dave could touch it up for you so quickly.

That’s a fabulous picture. He looks so tiny and sweet and you look so happy.

I was wondering how you did that. It’s amazing!

Heh. Jen, take a close look at The King’s ear.
The subtlety is what I most love about this version of the picture.

We definitely had a good laugh last night while Dave was creating this
I’m glad you love it as much as we do!
At least we made sure you got the REAL one first! haha!
We were hoping it would bring on labor.. but alas I am still huge and pregnant!
