I can't let MAB take the blame for the dodgy photos  :D

It was my fault for borrowing, what I thought was, a better camera than my old clunker  :'(

Here's one more.

The son said that we should have checked where the lighting was coming from...blah blah blah...and we should of had a tripod... blah blah blah .....it's easy for him to say he has all that stuff.....and I don't think a tripod would have fit in your purse Genie  :-\ Next time I'm dragging him along with me and he can take the pics for us  ::)
