Think of such situations that have occurred at your house--then re-eiiact them for the camera. CHOW a subject In an amusing ^ "tar--a problem situation--and you have an entertaining picture. All manner of simple everyday problems can be used for picture purposes--and If you Just show the situation clearly, these snapshots never fall to be Interesting. If there'a an old. worn-out alarm eloek In the junk box or the attic-- Ash It out, let Johnny take the works apart, and then get a shot of him trying to make everything go back in placet It there's a puppy at your house, pose him with a couple of cana of dog food, and a can-opener on the floor In front of him. Scold him a bit, and you'll get a doleful expression that makes the picture perfect Here's another. Once I tried to bake an angel food cake, and it fell so flat we tried to use it for automobile tire patches. Now, why not get hubby to don an apron. Then have him hold a cake pan, and picture him lifting a big brittle sugar cookie out of it That's the cake-- as his baffled expression will reveal --and you'll have a shot that really "ring* the bell." Again --how about pictures of hubby or Uncle John struggling Into a full-dress shirt, and losing the collar buttonT It has happened to everybody. And it Is worth sev* eral pictures--a sequence--conclud* lng with the final triumphant recovery of the elusive button. Just try it! Often, In the comic strips or morous magazines, you find slt«a> tions that will make good snapshots, with real people in them. Some time ago, one comic strlf shpwed a man trying to even up the legs of a tall kitchen stool, so it would stand level. Bit by bit, he sawed small sections off each leg-- until he wound up with nothing more than a footstool. If you have an old, broken-down stool around somewhere, try this--It, too, will make a marvelous snapshot sequence, with five or six pictures aH equally tunny. Just sit down and recall amusing things that have happened at home in the past. Does the kitten get hlnv> sell all tangled up in Grandmother1* yarn--beyond escape? Did you ever thump your finger with a hammer, trying to hang a picture? Note down such things--then put them into "situation" snapshots. It's a splendid way to have lots of wlnlfp camera fua.
