We've been away from the blog for a while, Ellison and I. So this morning, the boy suggested that he put on one of his favorite onesies -- "favorite" because it expresses his deeply felt conviction that, indeed, his uncle is the best -- and get a photo-shoot going. He gathered his friends (Wally the Bear, Simone the Giraffe, and Turtle-Man (TM)), put on some John Coltrane, and just started working the camera. It was inspiring -- a cross between Vogue-era-Madonna and Zoolander.
It was Ellison's art that demanded he get back in front of the camera. That, and Grandma B's ever-so-gentle nudging that "I NEED MORE PICTURES!" (That's a quote.)
And by the way, whichever uncle is looking at these images? YOU are the uncle the shirt is referencing!
