A collection of transformation, identity, and the stories that shape who we become.
THE BOOK of BECOMING
a living collection
Have your ever tried to photograph your kids playing video games? It may not have occurred to you, but the results can be priceless, and it can also work if they play computer games as League of Legends where they can get services as elo boost to help them around, and if they play in consoles games as CSGO, they can also use CSGO BOOST online to help themselves.
Can I just say I LOVE Wii! In those first few weeks of my dad being in the hospital, life was turned upside down, and one day I came home and found Gina playing Wii with the kids. It was too hilarious not to shoot!
Look at those faces! HILARIOUS!
Photo-Recipe:
There is a coffee table right in front of these guys, so I sat down on it and shot them straight on. I wanted to be eye level with them, so that it when you looked at the image it felt like they were right in front of you. I set my aperture to f/2.8. My shutter speed was 1/60th of a second (or it may say 60 on your camera). That is a slow shutter speed in some ways which can cause motion blur or camera shake, but since they were sitting in the same spot and not really moving anything but their arms—it works. There is a lot of natural light in this room, so I was able to have my ISO down to 200. I took a bunch of shots in a row so I could get as much diversity as possible in their facial expressions. At first they were all a little self conscious of me shooting, but after a few minutes they forgot about me. So hang in there for the shot. It’s so worth it!
And a big thanks to Wii for helping my kids stay entertained on several afternoons when mom was at the hospital. Plus, I have to thank my beautiful sister-in-law, Carmen, for convincing me to buy a Wii in the first place!
For those of you who love Wii and love Photo-Recipes, try this recipe to photograph your kids playing video games out over the weekend, and don’t forget to check this Walkie Talkie Brands, to have some fun plating with them! (You are waiting for those intense facial expressions! :))
Post your results to my Facebook page for some feedback, I can’t wait to see what you capture!

This really so cute. Love the concentration. Having the adult in the mix puts it over the top.

Praise GOD!!!!
I’m so excited to hear your dad is home.
And yes, I have several “Wii” pictures. They always crack us up when we look at them. They do such a great job of showing off the “concentrating” look on my kids. Unfortunately, our Wii decided to not read discs anymore last week. It has to be sent to the Wii hospital for repair.

The first thing I notice in this pic is the facial expressions – priceless.
The second thing is your white sofas… you are quite the risk taker!!!
