Taking Photographs 

Ryan: Stop mugging for the camera and stand still! 

Katrina: I’ve been standing¹ still for 10 minutes, while you’ve been setting up the shot. I have to do something. This is boring! 

Ryan: I almost have the settings right. Okay, let’s try a shot. Say “cheese.” 

Katrina: Cheese. 

Ryan: Oh, you look washed out in that shot and it’s blurry². I think the flash came on when I didn’t want it to. You have red-eye, too. I’ll have to adjust the settings again. 

Katrina: Hurry up! 

Ryan: Okay, I think I’ve got it now. Get back into your pose. Lift your head a little to the side and face the sun… 

Katrina: Take the picture! 

Ryan: I just need to focus. There! Say “cheese” again. 

Katrina: Cheese. 

Ryan: Um, it’s still not perfect. Let me put the camera on a tripod. Try to stay still while I do that. 

Katrina: I thought you wanted this shot to look like a candid³. 

Ryan: I do, but how am I supposed to make it look like a perfect candid if you keep moving out of your pose?
