Project 7x52 - Week 23 - Photo Walk.

Overview: Some local Shutterbugs did a Photo Walk together in Week 23…

Going up the Singapore Flyer for Jimmy's birthday! March 30, 2008

This was the very first time I enlarged my photographs and printed them for non-scrapbooking purposes. Believe it or not, I was a bit scared to do it and had to finally just dive in. I enlarged two of them to 8x12s and the rest to 5x7. For the First Friday gallery show, I plan on attempting to enlarge my Jerome staircase to 11x14, 2 8x12s, and the rest will stay at 5x7. At this point, I am thinking of even paying to get another 24"x48" spot. I also mounted (the 5x7s are on foam core) and matted my own photographs, which was another thing I was completely nervous about doing. But it was super easy and now I have it under my belt.

Trying to take pictures of Pam is really tough, she's an amazing photog herself, but rarely poses :)

Just a small portion of my collection of ladybugs that have been given to me. I believe ladybugs are one of the most special tiny creatures God ever made. Whenever, winter included, I am feeling distant a ladybug will come out of nowhere and land on me, on my car, etc. GOD knows when I need to know HE is with me, that's when HE sends me a ladybug.
