Description
What to say about this image... it probably isn't the typical photo one would post, but it makes me laugh every time. Yes, this photo was staged during a "family photo-shoot" but I think it turned out better than I could have hoped for in the long run.(No humans or wildlife were harmed in the staging of the photo; though the human in the hold-up could use a thorough bashing once or twice! XD)

now here we are talking about strange ideas for kids xD

Well... I am a child at heart...? *looks innocent* This picture was actually taken several years before the kids came into the picture, but knowing their mother, once they get old enough, there will most likely be another photo-shoot just like this one, involving them!

Hehe Yea i guess so 
looking at them beside each other and see the difference over some years.

Thats a really good idea, and I am sure their mother would agree as well! Only problem is, they do not always want to sit still for pictures, and so its a real hassle getting good photos at the best of times.

Hehe, yea thats a bit sad of course. But when ur young you dont have any use of nice pictures, its when u get older you understand you might want to have nice ones when ur old.

You have a very excellent point. Though some of us older crazies don't always appreciate the value of pictures either, but I think its a different mindset than when you are a child. Perhaps once we get old enough it doesn't always matter to us like it should.

Yes then of course you dont mind but i think its a shame, good memories never hurt anyone

No, they don't. And they photos always provide sufficient evidence for blackmailing or a round of laughs!

For me, its a piece of cake. Add the right witty remark at the right time, and bingo!

The play on words is very funny. It's certainly quite an interesting concept for a picture, although maybe a more dramatic angle could have helped? I think the perspective of looking up at the scene or slightly up from behind one of the shooters might have been an interesting twist.
I think you might could explore the idea a bit more because it's certainly a fun one.

I titled it after Kid Rock's song "Wanted" because after the photos were taken, we had them put on a CD as a slideshow and they added that song in the background. XD
Hmm... I think you may be right about the angle; I at least like to try the concept of an upward angle from one of the shooter's point of view, as I think it would give it a more realistic feel for the viewers and allow them to play the "bad-guy/hero" for a chance. At least this way, the faces remain obscured because I like the mystery of you not knowing what the "players" really look like. Thank you for the suggestion, as its something I would definitely like to give a try to!

A slideshow? That sounds fun. I had to look up the song, but it goes well with the pic.
You don't have to take my suggestion. I usually type my initial reactions, and sometimes they aren't always right. It all depends on what you're looking for. It certainly might be interest to get the perspective of the "bad guy/hero," but I guess once you take the picture you can see how it turns out.

Honestly, I am not a huge fan of the song or of Kid Rock.
I think giving new ways or methods a chance is imperative in our lives. Its good to see things from someone else's shoes or point of views, because the view is always different. Diversity is win!

I think the same. :]
I don't know a lot of popular music...probably because I never listen to the radio?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, another common ground. I love music and I consider myself to be eclectic where music is concerned; I enjoy and listen to a wide range of music genres, but they are songs I mostly find by chance or discover in my online music searches, as I rarely listen to the radio itself much anymore. I was raised on traditional country and oldies, so to see the major decline in music over the years just sort of turns me off to a lot that is released for today's generation. (No offense if that generation includes you... XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
None taken. I also like eclectic music. There's no specific genre of music, or time period...but I agree that today's generation turns out a lot of repetitive beats, lyrics, and sometimes monotone singing. There are lots of cases where just the lyrics attract me, or just one part of the song.
John Moreland's "Trust Funds" is a good example of lyrics winning me over.
Old country and oldies? Sounds interesting, I was brought up on jazz, classical, and zydeco. :]

Aww, I tried searching for that song you mentioned on YouTube so I could listen to it, but it seems it doesn't exist there. *sad* But yes, occasionally some songs the lyrics really hit home, and then in others, its all about the music itself, sans lyrics. And hey! awesome, you were raised on Classical! I can't say I was raised on it, but the genre does happen to a favorite (along with New Age/Instrumentals) And yeah, the old, OLD country: Hank Williams Sr, Marty Robbins, Willie Nelson, all those old weed-puffin', moonshine drinkin' dogs. Today's country can be summed up in one word: crap. And zydeco? Hmm, I do believe that is a genre I haven't heard of yet.

My parents were oldies&classical fans. They were both fairly old when I was born (I mean early to mid-forties). So I remember "Goodness, gracious great balls of fire!" and Tchaikovsky from an early age. xP
I love New Age/ Instrumentals. My favorite part is getting old tapes of them at garage sales and book fairs and playing them on my dad's old Walkman. It's great stuff to write or draw to.
I haven't heard much of country in my time, so I'll have to look those singers up. Because I've mostly been exposed to "today's country" you can imagine why I haven't fallen head over heels for the genre.
Zydeco is folk music, grown and raised in Louisiana (for the most part). The Wikipedia article, in this case, might be a better guide than me.

Today's country (and most other genres) are as you said, repetitive and all deal with the same things. Most of them have nothing to do about life anymore, whether the good or the bad and they just don't sum up "music" to me. Oldies are awesome though!
Enya is probably my favorite New Age styled musician; her music is wonderful, relaxing, upbeat and very melodic with all the instruments, different styles and lyrics or not. And it is excellent stuff to write too, yes! One of the reasons why I enjoy the OST's to a lot of anime shows or movies, depending on the composer.
I will have to look closely into zydeco then, it sounds intriguing. Oh and thank you for the link to John Moreland's "Trust Funds." I actually love the music and the lyrics mesh really nice. I like the simplistic nature of the acoustic guitar and his mellow, deep, semi-raspy voice that adds a depth to his song all the more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Agreed. Enya is probably my favorite as well. Only recently started listening to her stuff, but she's probably the most consistent of the ones I know. But really those Irish/Celtic singers/composers dominate the New Age (at least in the selection I have!)
I don't have too many OST's for anime shows/movies, but I can see what you mean from what I hear when I watch them. c:
Glad you enjoyed the link. I've always been a fan of semi-raspy voices with the right lyrics. I just remember when I first heard it, thinking, "this is it!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She is consistent with a lot of her albums and songs, and its amazing to know that she is the basic sole composer in pretty much every single one. 
Semi-raspy voices for me depend on the mood and lyrics of the song, as I am more apt to like the combination in a more mellow, relaxed beat and melancholy lyrics rather than something upbeat and fun.
