Ok, well, I guess that I’m not going to figure out how to get this image’s text to wrap around it. Score one for CSS and score zero for Thomas. Anyway, this picture isn’t too bad, I guess, not horrible, but not great, either. Since I haven’t yet convinced myself to drop $1300 on a Canon Digital Rebel, I shot this using a Sony Digital8 camcorder, which doesn’t create the best snapshots in the world. In fact, the original picture came out so dark that it was unintelligible and required auto levels in photoshop. Yeah, yeah, I know, auto levels aren’t always the best, but I don’t think that it would turn out significantly better if I took the time to actually do it by hand.

I like the fact that it doesn’t look so much like Baxter is a dog, and more like a little kid sleeping with his blanket, mostly from the fact that normally he would sleep curled up or otherwise with his legs tucked in. As Baxter doesn’t consider himself to be a dog, and rather just another human in the family, this really does seem to capture his role in our family.
