BABY PRINCESS

If American babies tend to resemble President Eisenhower, well, Filipino babies certainly look like Chairman Mao. This is Princess, my friend's four-month-old baby.

About a ton of pictures of Princess must already have been taken by my friend and his wife with their phone camera; however, they can only have them printed as wallet-sized photos. That is because anything larger will compromise the quality of the image. So I suggested that we take some photos of Princess with my dSLR, the shots from which they can have printed in any size they want.

Although it requires the patience of a saint, I enjoy taking baby pictures the most, because no matter how good or bad the shot, the awesome ethereal charms of the infant will always stand out.

I miss having a baby around. Maybe this is the reason why I am always having "baby dreams". Almost every night, nagkaka panaginip ako ng baby.; September 20, 2007 10:21 AM

One time when he came and spent hours and hours cajoling us to pose, I was the only one who didn't succumb to his tricks. But when we brought him home and as he was about to alight from the car, I tapped him on the shoulder, stuck my tongue out and smiled and posed. He took a picture of this 3-year old imp. I still have that black-and-white picture. :)

But now, looking at your beautiful beautiful pictures ... wow!; September 20, 2007 11:18 AM
pusa said...: i agree in all things you've said, babies are very good photo subjects, they are just soooo cute; September 20, 2007 11:45 AM
Señor Enrique said...: If that was my mother's baby, Photo Cache, she'd only allow you to kiss the baby's feet. You see, she thinks that no matter how cute the baby is, no one is allowed (especially the guys) to to touch or kiss the face, because the dirty hands or the guy's day old stubble might irritate the baby's delicate skin and cause some rashes.

But this baby's cheeks are so tempting to pinch and kiss because they just puff out of her chubby face ... hehehe! But I remembered my mother's lesson so I just kissed Princess' feet which are just as chubby :); September 20, 2007 11:49 AM

Yes, their innocent smiles are best compared to adults'.; September 20, 2007 11:53 AM
Señor Enrique said...: Sabi na nga ba, Rhoda, eh. As soon as you these new baby pics, you'd be dying to have one in your home ... hehehe.

Kaya lang, all your kids are still too young to get married and have babies. Hayaan lang silang mag-enjoy.

Hala ka, baka bigla ka na lang mag-adopt ... hehehe. But seriously, there's no better experienced mom I can think of to provide a warm and loving home to an orphaned baby than you, Rhoda. Swerte ang baby :); September 20, 2007 11:53 AM
Señor Enrique said...: Like I said, Nell, you can't go wrong with taking baby pics because no matter what, they will come out as adorable as you can imagine :)

Yes, my friend was so happy when we picked up the prints from the photolab :); September 20, 2007 11:55 AM
Señor Enrique said...: Thanks, Anonymous. Yes, babies are just perfect images of blissful innocence :); September 20, 2007 11:56 AM
Señor Enrique said...: No joke was told, Sidney. Actually, that was taken after she had taken a nap.

You have a few minutes of "magical moments" to take photographs of the baby after he/she had awakened from a restful nap. They usually would be all smiles and pretty much in a very jovial mood.; September 20, 2007 11:58 AM
Señor Enrique said...: Aha! So you were the family's supermodel, huh, Bugsy? Hehehe. I would love to see that picture you speak of.

I think children don't really enjoy being told to strike a particular pose and smile. Better just take pics of them in their usual selves -- more natural pa, di ba? Pero uso nga ang children pics na todo ang mga posing :); September 20, 2007 12:01 PM
Señor Enrique said...: Aren't they, Pusa? That's why I love taking pics of them :); September 20, 2007 12:32 PM
Señor Enrique said...: Yes, she is, Kyels ... but then again, all babies are :); September 20, 2007 12:32 PM

Señor Enrique said...: Let me find more parents willing for their babies' pics to be taken by me, Lawstude ... hehehe. Thanks a lot :)

Yes, infants tend to project the truest emotions.; September 20, 2007 8:16 PM
Señor Enrique said...: That's right, Aura ... Portugal has so many wonderful architectural treasures that to this day are well restored and maintained. Bet the country boasts many found influences from their discoveries - not only in architecture but in food as well.

Princess is certainly a lovely baby ... hehehe.; September 20, 2007 8:20 PM
Señor Enrique said...: Actually, LAR, the bottom pic came first when she was about to doze off. The second was minutes after shehad awakened from her nap :)
