How to take a good picture . . .

My mother always says that she doesn’t look good in photos.  Generally she’s correct as it seems she always manages to close her eyes, look somewhere else, or makes a face just as a photo is snapped.  So when our good friend and photographer wanted to take our picture she mumbled something about not liking her picture taken, so I made a face – she laughed – and we got something of a good photo.  The photo sequence below shows the action.
