I am busy working on another personal project for a local dance studio. It will combine graphic design and photography althogether. I can’t wait to show you the results! At this time, I have been using more of the Adobe software line, and I have been learning a lot about these programs. I will definitely be blogging more about this soon since the results are amazing. Have a great weekend everyone!

All of these photos are from the River City Ballroom Dance Competition. On this occasion, the event was held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. Being such a large space, we enjoyed making photos of the dancers at this friendly competition. For this reason, you should send the link to anyone that would like to see the photos from this event.

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!

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!
