Yet ANOTHER email from the baby picture contest folks.

Subject line: You must be so in love with Alina
Beginning of the email: Only someone totally in love with their baby would bring out so much beauty in one great photo. A photo that led to Alina being selected to be in The Most Beautiful Babies in America book! Nice. Preserve this.

Aside from the poor grammar--fragments are fine for informal blog writing, but official business correspondence??? And really, evaluative commentary??--this has taken the whole "targeting a mother's emotions" to a blatant, lame, and quite frankly offensive level. Since when does amount of love = photographic talent?

Excuse me while I throw up a little in my mouth.

And yes. I've learned my lesson.
