This is the third blog on our behind the scenes of recreation of iconic photos. The two remake photo shoots  were from Gilligan's Island and The Beatles.
​
Here Johnny is hamming it up for his part as the Skipper.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Lukey made a great Gilligan..........
Picture
Picture
.....until he decided to start clowning around with different options on his head and 
Picture
.....then rolling on the floor.
Picture
Picture

The captain's hat was something he also wanted to try out.
Picture
James was getting ready for his part as Thurstan Howell III by having a little snack. (Looks like he is having a fashion crisis, too!)
Picture
Then he needed a little drink.
​

Picture
Picture
Just saying, I was not responsible for the eyebrows, that was my assistant, the one holding the drink.
Picture
Picture
That assistant doubles as a great character in the role of the Professor. 
Picture
After a little Photoshop Magic, we end up with the above shot. When I showed it to Johnny after it was done, he replied, "Hey!How'd you get us in the jungle?"and"Baby has the wrong clothes on!"
Picture
Picture
On to the next photo shoot, a recreation of the iconic Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band image.
Picture
James was not a fan of the wigs. They seemed to irritate his eyes.
Picture
Being the wonderful grandparents that we are, we gave him a spoon to hold and told him to suck it up, we needed the picture.
Picture
He was not getting out of this one.
Picture
Picture
Lukey was next. You might have noticed that he has the same costume on. We used the same costume for all three boys and I just changed the color in Photoshop.
Picture
A wig change was needed. The other one was a bit too much, but this one was not good either. How many wigs do you have? You might be thinking... Let's just say, we have a large variety, don't you?
Picture
This one is perfect. Luke was very patient as we messed with the wigs. He was thinking of that toy he gets in the end.
Picture
Johnny is great in front of the camera, he nailed it as  Paul.
Picture
Our last Beatle was my faithful partner in grandparenting, John.
Picture
"That's not a band uniform", you say! Wait for it..........Photoshop is awesome!
Picture
Here starts the progression of putting all the images together....
Picture
and changing the colors.....
Picture
and adding to the police uniform to make it a band uniform.
​I am no expert in Photoshop, but I am sure learning a lot.
​I hope these images will be something the boys will have to help remember all the time we spend together. I also hope they inspire them to always be creative. John and I get so much joy out of creating.

    After 31 years of teaching, I have decided to retire and start a new chapter of my life as a photographer. It has been my passion for about 7 years now.
