My 3 year old can be quite the stinker.  Especially when I have my camera in tow.  Well, listen up folks, I have a HUGE secret to share with you.  If you want to get a good picture of your little boy, you are going to want to read on.   The secret to better photographs is (drum roll please)……….

THE FART MACHINE!

Say what… (Ok in our family we have to call it the “Pass Gas Machine”)

Yes, I did just type out “THE FART MACHINE.”

Folks,  this is going to change your life.  This one little machine can turn a grump into a smiley, giggly little fellow. You are going to get eye contact, you are going to get great expressions.  Here is a link to one at The Original Fart Macine #2 – Remote Fart Machine.
This may be a new and improved Fart Machine.  I have owned the one in the picture for over 5 years (yes, I am slightly embarrassed to admit this little fact.)

When I take photographs of this kid, I usually get eyes rolling and tongues hanging out (a bit like our Golden Retriever.)  But now that I have the power of the “Fart Machine”…

Look at that eye contact.

No tongues sticking out.  This kid is actually having fun!

Stay tuned because I’ve got loads of other tricks to share with you.  I promise that most of them won’t be as crude (or as fun) as the Fart Machine.  I’ve learned a lot about getting decent expression from a little kid in the past 5 years, mostly from trial and error.  I can’t wait to share…

If you get the fart machine and have success, leave us a comment and a sample of your work!!!
