The Haves and The Have Nots by egad

The Haves and The Have Nots

I wanted to play around with the Opposite theme, so I recruited my sister Katie @mcdougall and my husband to personify Have and Have Not. Katie was an easy sell. She is fabulous all the time, so she just had to show up. It took some coaxing to get my husband to wear a winter hat and flannel pants in 100 F/38 C degree temperatures, but he is wonderful and always willing to help out where he can.

It is unfortunate that that there is no behind the scenes video of this shot. What you can’t see is my son running around behind the camera. Instead of change in my husband’s bowl, there are wood chips because the only way that we could get my son out of the shot was to have him collect wood chips and drop them in the bowl. I quickly shot when he was out of frame but wasn’t quick enough every time so I think about 25% of the shots were photo bombed!

Haha, this is great!

@shadesofgrey It is definitely not on purpose. I don't say bad words in real life that much or the internet. I just type fast and the I and O are next to each other. Haha
