Actually, it's Suzanne with the snap shoots today. She's one of the Google Glass Explorers and is very exited to have this straight-out-of-science-fiction opportunity. It's like wearing a voice-activated computer on your face. One of it's many wonders is it's point-of-view (POV) camera. It's not easy to surreptitiously take photos with Glass. You have to speak out loud, "Ok Glass...take a picture", or you have to reach up to the frame to push a button. All the while looking at whatever you want to capture. Still, it's good at catching candid moments.

We're figuring out how to incorporate Glass into our portrait sessions, possibly sharing some candids here on the blog. Clients can have a sneak peek at what to expect while waiting for their finished portraits. And Glass can also do short videos. So it might be fun to stream parts of a session right to a laptop so you can see what 's going on when it's happening.

If you're wondering how Suzanne got the opportunity to be one of the few to own and play with a Google Glass prototype, she had to answer the question, "If I had Glass..."  Her answer?

#ifihadglass I would take the shots that my photog husband misses, lol!

Surprisingly, they took her seriously and a month later responded:

 

@painlesspix You’re invited to join our #glassexplorers program. Woohoo! Make sure to follow us - we’ll DM in the coming weeks.

Your turn!

What would you do if you had Glass?
