I’ve had a lot of fun going through my photos for this
LOAD. Since I am trying to stick with
stories rather than events, it gives me a lot of great opportunities to use up
some of those odd pictures that may be less than perfect or don’t really fit
with event-style scrapbooking. Today’s
photo is a perfect example.
I took this photo 15 years ago when all I had for a camera
was an old Pentax-K 35mm and no flash. I
don’t remember the exact circumstances, but it looks like I took the picture in
some deep shade with natural side-lighting.
There’s really nothing remarkable about the photo, and I’m sure that
many a photography nut would snub it because my son’s face is so poorly lit,
but I love this picture. I love the
close-up to my son’s precious face, and I love that he looks so deep in
thought, which perfectly underscores the theme of this page.
I know a lot of scrapbook gurus advise you to “get rid of
the bad photos” and only keep the best photos
for scrapbooking, but I say that’s wrong. Keep all
your photos, but keep them well-organized – you never know when that half-dark,
blurry picture will be the perfect
picture for the page you’re working on.
