For these posters, I wanted to up my photo collage game. This first poster adds some landscape – orientation photos along with portrait formatted ones. Additionally, I added an Arthur Murray logo to match a color present in the images. For that reason, I picked the orange, from a dress, and the lights installed above the dance floor.

In the second, I went with 3 square frames for the images. Obviously these are all cropped from the images since our cameras do not shoot in that format natively. To add some additional interest, I enlarged the center one. The blue – green logo comes from the ladies dresses to tie these all together. While working on these, I learned some nice lessons on working in graphic design software. Especially the logo which is a vector-based file, it is very flexible in this format. Do you made any of these? What are your favorite tips to make photo collages?

Happy Birthday!

Chinese Checkers board

Happy 75th birthday to my mother! I know she is busy today hosting family, opening birthday cards, and answering phone messages from all over the place. She has always been one of the hardest working people I know – taking care of her patient’s medical issues, providing for her family large and small, and making sure I didn’t mess up too badly while I was growing up could not have been easy. It makes me strive to be better at what I am doing because she was able to do so much with what she was given.

All around town her old patients still stop her to say hello, and catch up with what has been going on with them since she retired, and what happened to all the babies she delivered during her career. At one point, she had collage made from the baby photos that were sent to her office. She ended up making 3 – four-foot framed pieces, and there were still photos left over!

She is now happily retired and has taken to many hobbies – reading, learning to use the internet, and photography. She used a 16GB on her last trip! Yes, I try to help her with photos, but it’s mostly hardware. She like to borrow my lenses – here is her self portrait in my left eye!

Yes, she still has a large porcine collectible library, and she loves to challenge people to Chinese Checkers. Be prepared to bring your ‘A’ game, it is no joke to try to clear your side with her blocking your every move.

But she is always finding new things to try, never scared to experiment and try new things. I wish her a happy birthday and look forward to many more!

River City Ballroom photos expiring soon

©TimeLine Media - 2013 River City Ballroom Dance Competition

This is the second year that I have not been able to be there in person to photograph the River City Ballroom Dance Competition. Regretfully we are double-booked with events these weekends at this time. But I made sure that they still received quality photography from one of my associate photographer, Nick.

Since he is a resident of Richmond, VA, it was easy for him to cover this event for us. I received the photos from him and did all the post-processing of the images before being uploaded to the proofing site. This was so that everyone will have a consistent experience when viewing and ordering photos from TimeLine Media. He captured lots of great photos of the routines and the competition throughout the day. Moreover, I am glad that many of you found your photos. Additionally thanks for placing orders to keep! The photos will be available to view at the proofing website until July 29, 2013:
