Last fall, Trevor and I participated in a fitness event called SoFitCity, a friendly competition amongst the cities in our county to see who would win the title for having the most participants do one of the runs. Trevor and I did the Family Fun Run. Obviously, running and photography don't go together all that well. We bumped into a friend right before the start and had her take a picture of us together wearing our race numbers. During the race, I zoomed ahead of Trevor around the midpoint to take a picture of him running. Then I stopped running near the end so I could fall back and take a picture of him about to cross the finish line. None of the pictures turned out great, but I really did want to document the event. My solution was to print them small, group them together, and keep the layout really, really simple.
It's not the greatest layout ever, but it's in the album and the memory is recorded, despite the mediocre photos.
Oh, and for the record, our city won the SoFitCity title. That made a fun day even more awesome.
I still scrap the not so great photos ... it is still good to document them! LOVING this! LOVING the colors!!
ReplyDeletei always scrap bad photos! looks great
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just gotta scrap those bad pictures if that's all you have!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures don't look bad at all...perhaps it's the way you scrapped them, but I think they look just fine!
I don't think the pictures aren't great either. I think they worked out very well. Fabulously scrapped Cindy!
ReplyDeleteAhh we've all been there! Great idea to have the photos small. I sometimes add memorabilia when I have bad photos to help preserve the memory of the event/place/etc, as well the bad photos of course.
ReplyDeleteI think the layout and photos turned out great! :) I'm always sad though, when I think I've captured a great moment, and then realize there was a smudge on the lens and all the photos blurry?!? I totally did that, bummer. :( I try to salvage what I can. Sometimes it's just the lighting, and a little Photoshop or an Instagram-type action can help it. Love this layout though, you'd never know these weren't perfect pics! :)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great in the end. :)
ReplyDeleteP/s: I just print my photos smaller when they don't turn out great. Or print them in black and white.
This is great!!! Such a great memory!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, you just have to use what you have. I think this is an awesome layout!!! :)
