Samuel was messing around with Photo Booth (he likes taking pictures of himself.) He found the option that lets you take four pictures in a row. Seriously, we were doing this for hours. We started getting creative and trying to make mini story lines, but I don't think it worked very well. but after looking at the pictures it did pose this question: Where did my boobs go? … [Read more...]
