mio amore and me
Lately I’ve gotten a few requests for photos of P from friends and family, so I figured it was time to post another. You can also see another photo of him in my post Amore Mio in case you missed it.
Now here’s the thing. I’m not very good at the holding out the camera in front of us and getting a good photo thing, so nine times out of ten P loses part of his head. And he didn’t help things this time either as he thought the photo was already taken and turned his head before the click.
But I still kind of like it anyway.

This was taken last Saturday at the Feast of Santa Caterina di Alessandria. Why yes, I do have more photos. Stay tuned!
Today I’m thankful for:
P.
Happy Love Thursday everyone!

mccLovely photo! Thanks for posting it
What a great picture! You are a very good looking couple! ; )
You should hold that camera out in front of you more often. I am not missing that part of P’s head. The rest of him looks just fine, thank you.
Great glasses! I’ve got some red ones just like them.
how sweet!

Love the picture. And the glasses totally suit you. Love them!!
You guys look great! I love a black and white photo. Since Ed and I are often alone without someone to snap a shot for us, I have become the master of teetering my camera on a rock, in the crook of a tree limb, on top of a car or the fender of our truck, etc. and then using the timer mode to get us both in the shot. It works 80% of the time!
Keept more pictures of you guys coming – I like the very personal aspect it gives your blog. It gives me one more reason to be enchanted with your life!
Wonderful photo, thank you for sharing it with us (Paolo is getting braver too?
… and to repeat what so many others have already said (but I must), you guys are a gorgeous couple!
Well thank all of you for comments; I’m a bit behind, so I’ll just address those comments that just cry out for a response
*Judith, MAGARI!!!!
*Alexmom, I’m glad to hear you ended up getting a pair while here
*Nino, I’ve gotten some crazy glasses too–they just take a while to get used to. Actually, when I got the ones in this photo (5 years ago!) they were kind of edgy and strange…if you can imagine
*Giulia, that second chin has a mind of its own with those arms-length photos….
*Pat, P thanks you for that last comment
*Stefanie, actually I’m not on dial-up, but even when I was, my blog didn’t load particularly slowly. I’m working on it, in any event….
*David, I love the story of your photo with your boys
As for getting new glasses, I actually need a new prescription, and also, after 5 years, I’m bored with these. But we’ll see.
*Taffiny, wow, all that from a silly “Just one more try!” photo
*Leo, welcome! So happy you’re enjoying your time here
*Lissa, thanks for the link, but I think I’ll just make P suffer with this method for a while
*Tui, hah! Well P most certainly is southern Italian. And I’ll take the compliment as well
*Vee, you’re the first of a few to note how different I look in this photo…even my mom said the photo doesn’t look like me! And I didn’t Photoshop, I swear!
*Debbie, one of my friends says Adrian Brody….
*Sara, I agree that the unposed are definitely more fun–you get to feel what was going at the time more. Ah, and as I wrote to Vee above, don’t worry, even my mom said this photo doesn’t look like me. I think it’s the glasses and the fact that I’m not really smiling. People tend to not recognize here when I’m wearing my glasses which is saying something in a town of 300 people!
*BLC, P actually prefers when I wear my glasses–isn’t that awesome? No dry, itchy contact eyes *and* love? *sigh*
*Karen, you always make me smile
*Ranter, we’re going to start experimenting with the timer soon. P has so little patience for photo-taking, but I’ll convince him! Hopefully we’ll take more around the holidays
*Concetta, P isn’t braver…just in the dark about what I’m doing with the photos
Thanks again for all your comments!
That is a BEAUTIFUL picture!!!
*Erin, thanks
Since everyone is saying what beautiful couple you are, I will say something different: What beautiful babies you’ll have!!
*Grace, well that *is* something different; thanks
What a cute picture! I like it!
*Zandria, thanks
