I loved the sketch I saw over on Club CK and it worked for the scads of photos... well, most of them. In the end, I had enough to cover 2 pages but I couldn't cut them all down to 2x3" so I did a 2nd page with some different sizes. The catch is that the 2nd page HURT to make. I was a yearbook editor in college. I beat into my staff that we would NOT collage pictures. Everything HAD to be captioned. Everything needed a way off of the page. There were rules. I STILL follow those rules. There MUST be journalling. Collages are BAD. And I made a collage page. My editorial soul is still screaming at the injustice of it all. I feel for it but it can just scream because darn it, I got all of those pictures on the spread and my kid likes it. Good 'nuf.
I did have to share one additional thing. When I was trying to get pix of these (hard because of all of the insane reflections off of that many photos), I tried to lean the pages on the stairs. Didn't work- someone else had to be in the photos and obviously wasn't concerned that I was trying to accomplish something. *sigh*

ReplyDeleteI went to a festival of lights but didn't come away with such amazing photos! Awesome job!!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing! Mine never come out so crisp, they end up looking like I was balancing on a ball on a moving deck of a ship.
