PHOTO HUNT: SPORTS

One of my favorite things to do with Photoshop is to create "memory books". Over the past several years I've done about a dozen of them for family members. And perhaps another half-dozen specialty albums: wedding albums, a promotional album for a cake shop owner, and a memorial album for a young teenager who passed away unexpectedly. I found traditional photo albums somewhat boring, but enjoy holding a book in my hands. Slide shows and 8mm home movies are a thing of the past to me, viewing on a television or computer screen seems to lack personality, the ability to move back and forth, to linger on a image. The process of creating a memory book can be challenging and time consuming, most will take six months or more to design and print the basic forty-pages. All the albums are high resolution prints, in an 8.5 and 11 page size. What is shown here is greatly reduced in size. Most of the pages have a common theme, working in color, borders, type and sometimes a heavily-altered image. The pages below are from some of our family albums and all feature todays "sports" theme... pictures of the grandchildren and other family members involved in sporting activities. Please enjoy!
