let your photos do the talking

I love grouping similar images from a photo shoot into storyboards to highlight relationships, love, personalities, or sequence of events. Here are some faves from a recent client with a cherub personality.

All were created using our new 12×24 StoryBoard Papers. Perfect for 10×20 as well!

Stopping in quick to share an inspirational slideshow of friend Dewitt Jones‘ recent wave images. I want to look more into Animoto for creating slideshows after seeing this!

You can experience waves like these by visiting Molokai, or attending the amazing photography workshop at the Hui, Rekindling the Creative Spirit in April, 2010. I helped teach some photo art classes there three years ago, participated in the workshop, and found the experience life changing.

You can view Dewitt’s slideshow here (If you have high speed Internet, click HQ at bottom right for larger view)

Sorry so long since I’ve been around here. Life has been full of adventures with the kids home this summer! window-of-time-scrapframes5-600 cottagearts-scrapframes5-prev

At CottageArts we just created some fun storyboards to showcase your images, so wanted to share them here…they come in 12×12, 8×8, and 7×10, each in five patterns/textures (cardboard, painted cardboard, painted paper, canvas paper). You can embellish them or keep them simple. Add text or not with your image editor’s Type Tool. Enjoy! Michelle
