Theme: Flexible | Become a Photo Hunter | View Blogroll
The first thing I thought of when I saw this week’s theme was this little flexible tripod we got my oldest son to use with his digital camera. I can’t take the credit for being hip and knowing about it — he told us about it. 
You can bend the legs, wrap them around something, and move the part that holds the camera to different angles.
It gives you a lot of versatility in being able to use your camera in different places and at different angles.
My second thought for flexibility was Jesse, the most flexible member of our family. I often see him playing or doing homework in what would seem to me to be very uncomfortable poses! The first picture I call “pretzel mode,” the second “vulture mode.” I’ve used these previously in Wordless Wednesday photos, but they fit here.

The tripod’s really cool! I’m gonna look for one. It would come in handy. Jesse is truly flexible with his body.

Oh my! He is flexible isn’t he? That tripod is awesome! I just posted my first photo hunter ever. Have a great weekend!

I’ll have to get that tripod! LOL Very flexible indeed!

Interesting tripod. I can see it having some practical applications. I have a lightweight collapsible tripod which is always where my camera isn’t whne I really need it. Well, not always, really. People see it and think it is so cute–then it unfolds into the real deal. And I plan to take it backpacking next summer.
I had a student last year who was like your Jesse–never could sit in a chair.

This is the tripod I am trying to find!

I like the tripod, it has a cartoonish feel.
And Jesse, his sitting position speaks of how concentrated he is with what he is doing. So it seems.
November 10, 2007 at 4:16 am
Now that’s really flexible. I love the tripod. Happy weekend
November 10, 2007 at 4:19 am
Oh, I want one of those tripods!! And my oldest is flexible like that too – he actually sleeps with his legs all crossed up like that!
Happy Weekend.
November 10, 2007 at 5:03 am
Whoa! Your son looks like plastic man. I don’t think I can look as flexible as that. Haha.
November 10, 2007 at 5:30 am
Great photos for this week’s Hunt! That camera tripod is very cool. Super useful!
Jesse is very flexible. It’s amazing how he can bend!
I’m naturally flexible this week.
November 10, 2007 at 6:15 am
Yep, the tripod is useful – I have one of these too. Great shots!
November 10, 2007 at 6:55 am
I adore the vulture pose! Once upon a time (a long time) I might have done that myself
And I’d never heard of a flexible tripod, which seems an excellent idea.
November 10, 2007 at 8:23 am
Oh, I so want one of those tripods. And yes, he is awfully flexible–my little brother was like that, still is and he is 28.
It is funny–we have some VERY flexible types and some not so flexible types–like me. Even after 14 years of dance–not flexible. 
November 10, 2007 at 9:05 am
I’m seeing a lot of resemblance in the tripod and Jesse! LOL
There aren’t Bowens in your lineage by any chance? In my family, The Vulture is known as the Bowen Squat!
November 10, 2007 at 9:09 am
wow! what an amazing camera tripod!
and those are really flexible positions!
November 10, 2007 at 9:15 am

The pictures of your son crack me up. How does he do that?
November 10, 2007 at 9:16 am
Wow, your sons are really flexible….I hurt just looking at them . Cool tripod too.

Great pics! Love that tripod — didn’t know it existed and now will make a point of hunting for one for myself. As for Jesse: Hahahahaha, guess he’s got flexible as well as long legs!
November 11, 2007 at 12:58 am
Haha! I think both the tripod and Jesse are flexible. Jesse’s posses really look uncomfy.
November 11, 2007 at 7:45 am

Jesse looks very flexible indeed.
You may find mine here.
