We're stronger than we thought!
Now, here we are. September of 2020, way more than halfway through this – to say the least - unusual year. Our LHS Class of 2020 had their graduation, for the first time ever outside on the Football Field, which I have to say, I didn’t mind at all. Might be something they should continue in the future. I wish each and every one of them a blessed future and that they (and all of us) learned or are learning through this current situation, that we are stronger than we thought we were, and that we can handle a change in circumstances, but most of all, that there are people who we can depend on to be with us.
So, let’s turn our focus to the Class of 2021. They don’t have an easy year ahead of them, but I guess at least they know that already before they start their Senior Year.
Parents, Seniors, I can take a little of the work off your shoulders: Every year, I submit my HS Seniors’ yearbook photo to the school. I correspond with the schools if I’m not certain about their requirements, always ask for confirmation after sending the images, and make sure that I meet their requirements - some are lax, some are strict, some print color, and some in Black & White. By the way, did you know that a simple B&W conversion is often way boring compared to an enhanced conversion? Look here:
That’s why it’s important to me to know what your senior’s school does for their yearbook. I want my images to pop off the page and WOW everyone who views it.
Little bit of a subject change: I’ve been talking a lot about what I can do for you in terms of MAKING IMAGES. But most of us TAKE plenty of photos, too. When was the last time you actually printed any of those? Of course, you can get prints from your local chain stores. That’s good enough when you need something quick. But if you are into creating scrapbooks and photo albums, I’d recommend a professional lab, such as mpix. See, one of the labs I work with is Miller’s. Their consumer division is mpix. So you are getting the knowledge and experience of the pros for your quality and longer lasting prints. And prints are the only medium for photographs that will last for generations. If you don’t believe me, just find a floppy disk and ask your computer-savvy 12ish year old son/brother/cousin what it is! If you just asked, what a ‘floppy disk’ is – I guess I made my point. LOL! But seriously, without PRINTS, how will you pass on these heirlooms to the next generations?
So, how else can I assist you with your photo needs? Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts in the order they popped into my head:
DON’T go for ‘Open Concept’ when building or redesigning your home (not enough wall space for you pictures!)
DO go to Pinterest for ideas for Wall Displays. Set a time limit for searching and pinning!
DO decide on a layout and print medium* BEFORE deciding on the images.
*framed print, framed or stretched canvas, aluminum, wood, acrylic, mounted on standout block, and more
Now that you have your layout, DO choose your images.
And finally, now that you have my list, DO tell me how it worked for you!!! Oh, and if you don’t have photos to put on your wall – well, you DO know where to find me!
Blessings,
