American Gothic

My take on the Grant Wood painting. My grandchildren and their friend were playing dress-up. When their momma saw the outfits she told them to pose and everyone started shooting. For a slightly different view see http://365project.org/marilyn/theme-challenge/2012-06-17

What a wonderful pose, and I love their serious expressions.

@digitalrn Thanks, Rick. It was all a bit of fun!

[Kathy Burzynski]

and how did you get them to keep a straight face - no smiles!
This is great!

[katy]

@myhrhelper It was a bit of a challenge but we managed!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

LOL! Cute idea! I love the youngin' on the top left!

[Darlene]

What a great photo and love it in B&W, Katy. No expression on their faces is priceless. How fun, reminds me of the Adam's Family.

Love the B & W in this photo. It adds a lot to the Gothic theme :)

great processing, your Marilyn's is more retro, but I prefer the b&w
