A picture is worth a thousand words, which is why the most enterprising doctoral students' dissertations are nothing more than hundreds of pictures of a single written page. Preserve your memories in a timely fashion with today’s Groupon: for $55, you get a 90-minute portrait session for a group of up to 10 people (a $150 value), plus a $150 credit toward your choice of prints from Brandt Photography (a $300 total value).
Brandt Photography's monocular-lens-wielding duo Christopher Brandt Hoopes and Leigh Hoopes combine their talents for dynamic lighting techniques and capturing candid moments to create iconic, artistic portraits of individuals, couples, families, and pets. Put your family reunion on record, capture a tender moment with your newborn, get photographic evidence of a whirlwind romance, or visually imprison your high-school senior just before prom in a fun, relaxing, and creative photo session. The peripatetic lens-persons will travel to your preferred location, whether it's an elegant ballroom, a pristine beach, or an intricate city constructed entirely from tinker toys. After the shoot, adept photo retouchers erase blemishes, brighten eyes, whiten teeth, soften wrinkles, and edit out the photobombing ghost of Winston Churchill.
Proofs are ready for viewing in the online portrait gallery in about 3–5 days, and while they usually evaporate into the ether after two weeks, Groupon customers have 30 days to choose their favorite shots. Prints are available in a variety of sizes, including 5x7 ($20), 8x10 ($25), 11x14 ($40), or a sheet of eight wallet-sized photographs ($25).
Groupon Says
Petting an Animal
Petting an animal can lower your heart rate, decrease blood pressure, and soothe burned hands, as animal skin secretes a constant stream of aloe. Here are steps you can take to reap the health benefits of petting:
- Find an animal to pet. The best places to look are in garbage cans behind fast-food restaurants and inside the houses of lonely adults.
- Study the animal to gauge whether or not it can be approached. There are a few telltale signs that an animal wants human contact: its hair stands on end, which makes it easier for you to run your fingers through, and it foams at the mouth, which allows you to wash your hands before and after petting.
- Let the animal know you aren't a threat. Accomplish this by yelling about how you don't have any weapons or ties to fur traders. It's important to be as loud as possible because most animals' ear canals are blocked by silver dollars.
- Approach the animal as fast as possible. This way, the animal will know you are just as excited as it is.
- Pet the animal. Remember, the harder you pet, the easier it will be to determine whether or not you're petting an animal or an illusory manifestation of your own longing.
