The Mummy
October 17th – The mummy was actually one of the first photos we took. I was looking for a wall that looked like the inside of a Pyramid, and the closest thing I could find was a tan stucco wall on the outside of a nearby deli. Not realizing the bar that we were going to set for these photos, Charlie’s Aunt Laura and I wrapped him in toilet paper and snapped enough photos to get a half-decent shot. About 4 weeks and 20 photoshoots later, we looked back at our first effort and knew we had to re-shoot. Around the same time, I noticed a law office a few miles from our apartment with a roof that looked conspicuously like a row of pyramids. Caroline cut up some white fabric and sewed him a mummy costume that he can truly be proud of. I can imagine a group of 25 lawyers and paralegals standing around a window watching us while we held Charlie in the air and took photos of their building in the background. We got the job done quick enough to avoid being served a legal notice to vacate the property.
