Breakfast Club Letter

School starts today and my daughter is wearing her favorite t-shirt she got for her birthday this year--the "Breakfast Club" shirt with the cast on the front and the infamous letter to the principal on back. My little rebel, and fashionista, all wrapped up into one amazing 7th grader.

I liked how the shot came out. It was a "one take allowed Mom" shot, so I'll take it. :) My other daughter starts high school today. She's ready. I'm ready. Looking forward to new adventures (and a schedule I can handle--summer was tough for the first time in about 3 years...)

Happy first day to anyone else celebrating! :)

So holidays are over! I hope that doesn't mean summer is over! T-shirts are brilliant nowadays!

Great shot - love the dof!! I am smiling at the "one shot only Mom" they are so funny!! Enjoy yourself now they are back at school!!

[Thomas Toth]

That movie brings back so many memories. The shirt and her pose is just perfect - it tells a story, that's for sure! :)

[Simply Amanda]

Really nice shot reflecting the first day of school. I absolutely love the reflection in the mirror.

Great portrait for the first day of school! I used to pose my kids by the front door to measure how much taller they were than the previous year!

@redy4et great idea!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@thomastoth it really does. She watches that movie over and over too. :)

@amandal haha. Your selfies indicate you could check "all of the above, plus sewer tart" ;))

@darylo True words. :)

ooohhh . . . I like this. Contemplative, but not overly conscious in depiction. Mirror as metaphor. Nice! And yes, happy first day . . . in August???

[KWind]

Cool shirt and shot! I remember loving that movie!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@jyokota We get out mid-May so it's mid-August when we go back! I actually prefer an early return as it is just so darned hot here that there's nothing to do and the pool gets reallllllly old by that time. :)

[Rachel]

Really nice focus and composition.

[Adam]

Great movie. And, I think it has a good message. Be yourself but know who you are.

Love the tee shirt, love the movie. Great capture, Daryl. My category would have been either silly girl or out to lunch.
