My Photos Have Arrived!

How I Really Enjoy My Photographs

Often I enjoy getting some of my favorite photographs printed into 12 by 18s and so I am always on the lookout for the special deals with my favorite online store. About once every quarter they put on a sale, so I am always getting ready by locating those favorite photographs to upload to be printed.

Getting ready for these sales allows me to look at some of the many photographs I have taken of the grandchildren, and as I look through them I can see where I have done well and where I need to improve.

This time around I think I found some great shots, and I am very pleased with the prints I received today.
Over the years I have collected many of these treasures, and I enjoy giving them as gifts to family and friends. It is always a joy to see the look of pleasure spread over the face of mom or dad when I give them a framed photograph of one of their great grandchildren!

But you have to be careful – I like to work with photoshop and create more artistic renditions of some of my photographs. I had one in particular of my grandson that I wanted to share with my father, so I excitedly prepared the photo and took it over on a visit.

Much to my surprise his reaction was that “this isn’t my great grandson!” I guess an artistic rendition of the image wasn’t quite what he expected, and that what he really wanted was a regular photograph of his grandson. Well, no problem. A quick fix and he got what he wanted.

It just goes to show you that you never know what someone will like or enjoy. Some enjoy the more artistic images, and others just want the regular photographs. My advice? If you are trying to make a special gift for someone in your life who is a little older – ask them before you do all that work!

Until next time keep your camera handy and watch for those fabulous opportunities to photograph your children.
