A photographer's Donr's.

Don't tell the photographer that you
are the worst subject in the world to
photograph, and never had successful
picture. 1t is a stilted remark resulting
from a species of egotism which simply
means that no camera has ever yet
succeeded in producing the beauties that
you see in yourself.
Don't practise expression and so sue
coed in Disgusting yourself.
Don't tell baby that birds and mon.
keys will jump out of the side of the
gallery to amuse him. His disappoint-
ment will make him cross.
Don't bring the entire family along
to keep the child in good humor. The
artist can do that much more easily,
and the baby Is less likely to become
nervous.
Don't bring a friend along to pose
you. Trust to professional rather than
amateur skill.
Don't, II you are an amateur. try to In
struct an artist Of thirty years expert
ence how to make successful photo
graph.
Don't grow angry IL you cannot break
the business rules of the studio because
they do not happen to meet with your
approval.
