Stop the presses

Ever have this happen?

In the space of five minutes in someone's backyard another photographer captures the same subject you've captured a thousand times and you see the result and you think to yourself

HEY!  How did she... what the... but... but... but... how the heck...

When I saw this picture of my son as captured by the gorgeous and talented Jeanette LeBlanc (who also lives here), I had to recover my jaw off the floor with a paint scraper.

Instant invigoration. Mystified curiosity. The world will stop turning if I do not figure out HOW SHE DID THIS. 

As soon as she tells me, I'll let you know. Jeanette has an incredible eye, yes, but what gets me is her processing prowess. I've got her tied up in my living room, as it happens, and will be employing Nova Scotian saltwater torture to extract her tricks and share them with you here in the coming days.*

(*All 100% true except for the kidnapping bit. But if she keeps taking photos like this one, I may well have to go to Arizona in my ski mask for that very purpose. In the meantime, I've dispatched my pretty-pretty-pleases over email, and I'll keep you posted.)

Dude, what you felt when you looked at that photo? Is what I feel EVERY SINGLE TIME I LOOK AT YOURS.

Just sayin'.
