Legend has it.... A story line (with a story attached!)

Last week I realized with a start that I don't know when the next photo-club evening was. I didn't even know if we had a set subject (all this happened LATE Tuesday afternoon, 6 August!) I rushed to AFO's website and saw that the next club evening was to held on the 12th of August AND that we have to do a story line! The deadline for submitting the photos being the Friday, the 9th, leaving me with only one available date to complete the photos... Thursday 8 August!

I did not have a story line, I did not have photos. We started brain storming and ended up working around Steri Stumpie's for the idea... However, limited time and NOOOOOOOOOOO available models resulted int the following:

1. My poor mom being bullied into playing model.

2. Me buying Steri Stumpies. 1 x chocolate, 2 x strawberries (one for the photos since it's bright and the other for my husband so that I could have the chocolate one without feeling guilty of having a treat only for myself) and 1 x cream soda flavor... also for NICE bright colors on the photos.

3. My one dog being kidnapped.(Poor Gina!) and set loose in a strange environment... ok not that strange since she was almost immediately looking for my mom's cat and going after his food! (She always goes for the food?!)

4. We did the set-up for the photographs... me chewing gum to place at the bottom of the straw once it's filled up with green milk, my mom and dog taking their places on the steps with poor Gina getting withdrawal symptoms after she smelled the Steri Stumpie.

Well here's the results... One Strawberry (still can't believe she finished it) and on Cream Soda (almost finish) Steri Stumpie later... A COM (top score) at photo club and lots of laughter later I can finally share the photos with you!






.... Luckily for me there was no "puking green" in the car on the way home!
