Photoshop is Awesome...In the Right Hands

This was from an old email I sent back in 2005 that was pretty funny.
We took some pics of the boys to send out to friends and family for the holidays.  Now, the problem is that trying to get a four-year old and a one-year old to both look at the camera at the same time and to both smile at the same time while they play at the beach is like trying to run a marathon while eating a bowl of soup ...blindfolded ...while learning sign language from a gorilla.  It can be a challenge.
We had one shot which was really good except Max's eyes are half-closed.  The neighborhood "pro" at the photo store said he could photoshop it and fix it up for us.  Only $20!  I attached the before and after.  Thank goodness Max doesn't really look like this.  I guess we could have probably got him some work in those horror movies with the evil kids.  "The Omen 6" or something like that.
