Several years ago, spotting a soft-focus Kodak moment, I whipped out my trusty Canon and focused on one of my girlses.<\/p>\n

“No, don’t shoot me, I look horrible!”<\/p>\n

What’s going on here, I thought to myself, am I on a film set, dealing with some high-strung movie star?<\/p>\n

This happened again and again with Offsprings #2, #3, and Karen. In spite of the fact that all my girlses are devastatingly beautiful and always<\/em> camera-ready.<\/p>\n

But try arguing with a woman who feels less than perfect.<\/p>\n

One day, feeling deeply frustrated when one of my girlses ordered me not to trip the shutter, I cried:<\/p>\n

“Okay, I won’t shoot your face. Is it okay for me to shoot your, er, shoes?”<\/p>\n

There was a long pause.<\/p>\n

“Um, o-kaaay, I guess.”<\/p>\n

Thus began the Avrech family portfolio of my girlses footwear. Shooting shoes has become something of a minhag, a tradition, around here.<\/p>\n

“I’ve got a new pair of shoes, Daddy.”<\/p>\n

“Excellent, let me get my camera.”<\/p>\n

Snick! Snick! Snick!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
