ouch! well i'd say don't hurt your knees! do you have a large table maybe? if you could get one of those large folding tables (like they use at conferences.. or school lunches) then you could cover that in a white sheet, and then set clothing out on it.. then just get on a step stool, or a chair or step ladder, or something like that to get up a little ways to take the picture.. and then if you needed to you could always crop the pictures down later to only get the white table and clothing. :)

body before profit, that's what i say! good luck!

it's not really critical.. but i think that on the floor you can control the wrinkles, and the layout.. (say, you could lay it flat, and then fold an arm of a shirt toward the center, for instance) and if you get a top town shot, it can sometimes look more professional.. :)

i'm so glad that it's working for you!

as far as the question about the clothing.. is there a problem with how the pictures are turning out? in theory a white sheet background should work (although i would lay it out on the ground, instead of using a hanger), but it's easier to problem solve.. :)

again i'm glad you're having success, and let me know specifics.. :) :)

  When you hire a teenaged girl to babysit, who drives her home?

  That rule is most certainly justified!! When I babysat back in the 50’s, it make me very nervous for the father to drive me home. The main reason for this is that most usually the couple had been drinking with dinner, and the father would get a bit too friendly as he drove his car, weaving back and forth all over the road. I’m sure the couple would have been offended if I suggested the wife drive me home—when you’ve been drinking, the safety of a drive home can easily be magnified by the alcohol! And since I never told my parents about this, it makes me now realize that I certainly knew something was questionable!

  When was your last family meeting?

  @charliecompany34 Oh my gosh! I haven’t thought about family meetings in years! It was always my mother who called them (this was in the 50’s). I think my father was rather embarrassed with the whole thing. My mother read about them in some magazine or newspaper, and thought it would be a good idea. She would call the meeting, and me and my 3 sisters (sorry—“my 3 sisters and I”—another thing of which my mother always corrected us) and parents gathered around the dining room table (which we only used for Christmas dinner and family meetings). It was a totally ego-busting thing! Since I was the most naive, I would take this very seriously and share what was bothering me. My sisters thought it was hysterical and took the opportunity to laugh loudly at me. My parents tried to keep my sisters in control but that only worked when we were “in” the meeting. I remember when my mother reported at a family meeting that the phrase “shut up” would no longer be tolerated. For every time one of us said “shut up,” she would fine us 25 cents off of our allowance. Since we only got $1.00 a week for allowance, my mother thought this would be a very effective way to censor our speech. Instead, after my sisters lost 25 cents for their first “shut up,” they would just yell, “shut up—shut up—shut up—shut up—shut up and shut up!” It was more satisfying for them to lose all of their allowance and yell “shut up.” My poor mother!! My sisters were real assholes!!!

  @augustlan : Thanks for the good wishes! He has 38 stitches—but no tendons, muscles, veins or arteries were cut. He won’t be cutting down any more trees for at least 6 weeks, but he knows how very lucky he is! He’s Andrew’s brother Tony.
