I don't think I've ever posted this picture on my blog. I know I've put it up elsewhere, so I thought I'd post it today. This was taken a few years back (3 or 4 maybe) at Disneyland. Right after you get off the Star Tours ride, you're lead into a Star Wars giftshop. In that shop they have one of those places where you can get your picture taken. Since the boys are huge Star Wars fans, we did this one year and had a poster made. What's fun to us is that the boys have called each other Anakin and OB1 for years. So, this picture was the perfect choice for them. That's Nathan as Anakin, by the way, and Neil is OB1. It always makes me laugh to see Neil, who must have been only 4, wearing a beard. The boys have this poster framed in their bedroom.
Have you ever done any of these pictures? I haven't myself. Rick did one of those old-fashioned type photos once where he dressed up as Wild West Deputy. It's cool, so I'll have to scan it sometime and put it up. I saw a booth at Downtown Disney recently and Rick suggested we do a Pirates of the Caribbean one, but I said no. I don't know why, but maybe I'll do one eventually. I never did those Glamour Shots that were so popular in the 1980s either. How about you -- ever take any fun photographs?
Cute picture!! I did a couple of those pictures when I was young and we've had a couple taken of the girls, one a year or so ago. Sadly, I did a glamour shot session quite a few years ago. It's AWFUL! No one has seen it except Darren and I don't think anyone ever will until I'm gone. LOL

Great pic! I've done Glamour Shots AND these Star Wars pics. My hubby is Han Solo and I'm Princess Leia. My oldest son also did an Anakin picture too!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, my family is watching Return of the Jedi as I read this post! =) My son would LOVE one of these photos, but we've never sprung for it.
ReplyDeleteHow fun and cute! I bet they were in Heaven that day! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd yes...I have. I am a HUGE Abe Lincoln fan and one year, I went to a Lincoln festival in Springfield where everyone dressed up like the characters from back yonder. One dude dressed to be Lincoln and let me tell you he really LOOKED like Lincoln. I WAS in heaven that day. haha. Seriously. I think I flattered the old man because I wanted my picture taken with "Abe Lincoln" so badly. :D tee hee
My son is a fan of Star Wars but I don't think he'd get into costumes. I have not tried any of thesetho I 'm sure it's fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Rena,
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's I have always been a big fan of Star Wars. That is a wonderful photo of the Mountain Goat on the title page.

cute picture! I did an old West photo many many many years ago when I was around 19. I'm not even sure where that picture is anymore. hmmmmm. I may have to dig it up.
ReplyDeleteCute picture!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I were just talking about this. She wants to do the old west photo - I did that one a long time ago when I was in college. I don't know where it is now but I'd burn it if I found it!
Great picture! I've not done any, and think it's about time to do so if I get an opportunity..
ReplyDeleteOMG - that is just the cutest picture! May the force be with them! lol
ReplyDeleteI have never done any of those dress up pictures but they certainly look fun. (And I have a secret dream to have my daughter all "princessed" up at Disneyworld! lol
Ah, someday when she will actually let someone brush her hair I guess.
