POD: Henry in the Bathroom

Don’t judge me. But when I saw the afternoon glow from the setting sun, I had to snap a few photos. Also, I had just received my black pro-mist ¼ filter, and I wanted to try it out. Henry can usually be talked into modeling, especially when he wants something. So I promised him a snack if he’d pose for a couple of snaps. What do you think?

Oh, and Henry got his graham crackers.
