Quickest photo shoot ever

This entry is partly to test a code fix and partly to grin at the results of this morning's photography.

BJ is a favorite and consistent photo subject of mine. I got an excellent headshot of her for a print piece I worked on a couple of months ago, but I had to cut her photo out of the finished piece due to space constraints. It made me sad, because her photo was excellent; it was just trumped by two better photos.

This morning, she saw my camera bag and said, "Think you'll need another shot of me sometime soon?" I told her that I might, but that it would be for a very different project.

This morning, I walked into the break room expecting to take some candids of shelvers on break, but BJ walked in right after me. She sat down, and grinned at me, and twenty seconds and three photos later, I had this image. I was just getting warmed up to move to the 'real' shot, but I looked at the LCD screen and realized the 'real' shot was already there, whether I realized it or not.

She laughed and said, "Over already? Quickest photo shoot ever."
