What to do with your vacation photos

We can't wait for vacation to come and then just like that, BAM!  it's over.  You find yourself back in the grind of daily chores and you can't remember your vacation.  That's where all those fabulous photos you took at the (insert your vacation spot here) comes in.  You DID take a bunch of awesome photos didn't you?   Don't tell me you still have them in your camera and you haven't even downloaded them? Or are you still old schooling it and you have a drawer of film that needs to be dropped off?  Either way dealing with the images sooner than later will result in your vacation being a great memory for you and the family.
     Social-Of course you could be a compulsive social media lurker that must at the moment something wonderful(or not so wonderful) happens on your supposedly "get away from it all" vacation, you must post where, when, who, what you are doing to all your "real friends".   It's fun to show all those friends in drought ridden, hotter than the desert Tennessee that you are in fact on a cruise at this minute headed to Alaska.  Thanks. We hate you more.

Let me tell you the downfalls of posting every photo you take. #1-Not all of them are good. Ok, some are downright horrible.  If I learned anything in photography school it was to edit, edit, edit.  That and how to cry like an artist during a critique.   So posting your images on your facebook account or smugmug or flicker, etc is great, but edit it first.  Choose one photo from each pose.  Nothing like seeing 12 images of the same people and the only thing that changes is who is making the goofiest duck face.  Also, don't ever post out of focus images. No matter how you justify by saying it is artistic. Don't do it.  And for the love of Pete, clean the finger prints and pocket lint off your smartphone before taking photos!  Great piece of advice from my college teacher, "The only difference in a good photographer and a bad photographer is you never see the good photographer's bad photos".
    Wall Art- Don't forget the old-now becoming new again displaying of your photos by(gasp) hanging them on the wall.  There is something about going into someone's house and seeing how they proudly display their family photos on the wall or in frames on the mantle.  Everyday you wake up and are able to look at your children, pets, and you at a moment that was captured.  I still love that.  There are so many options these days with gallery wraps, canvas and even metal prints that will fit the decor of your house.  Large format photos are an awesome way to redecorate a room, and it is WAY cheaper than painting and buying new furniture.
     The Book- Gone are the days of holding your friends and family captive and torturing them with a slideshow of your trip to the Grand Canyon while you narrate.  The ever popular coffeetable or story book is back and better than ever.  Costs have come down and the designs are really cool.    You can even have one made for every vacation you take.  They are out in the open for you to pull off the shelf and for your family to enjoy for years to come.  How many times will you really want to take someone to your computer and show them your vacation or hold your iphone up to their noggin while you scroll thru your photos not ever doing justice to how the photos really look.  More importantly will anybody WANT you to?   That's annoying.

     Whatever you do. Do something. Before next year on your vacation you try to remember if you downloaded all the images because you need to the space to take one more amazing sunset shot.

Something Blue

In all my years of photographing weddings I've never had a groom call me the morning of the wedding. Until yesterday when my groom and grade school pal, John Summers, calls to say he needs a favor. "Well of course" I say. So John goes on to tell me that he is on his way to the reception site and the site where his bride to be, Machelle, is getting dressed (The Inn at Harvest Farm Lake)for their big day. In hand he has a dozen red roses. Oh how sweet I think, but that's not all. He has the vase tied with a blue ribbon and tied to that is a box. That's right girls! A jewelry box. Inside that box is a sapphire ring to complete Mac's something blue for the day. Oh how sweet! So he wants it all captured on film. Or at least all on digital chip. No problem I say. Below is Mac's reaction and how she kept from ruining her makeup I'll never know. Congrats to you both.
