We just took our Christmas photos for our friends and family and it turned out great. I thought the park setting may not work, however with the right lighting it came out perfect.
Srey, Paul, and Me
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not romantic at all in the stereotypical sense. I don’t bring my wife flowers..or write sappy love letters…or…I don’t know what else romantic guys do. In my defense, though, my wife doesn’t expect this, so I guess that’s good for me. Anyway, I’m getting to my point.
My wedding anniversary is coming up, so I had this brilliant idea that would make my wife really happy: since she likes it when I spend a lot of thought and time on something I figured I would make her an imovie of our memories from the six years we’ve been together (3 dating, 3 married). I did a test movie and showed it to her and the rest of the family and they loved it. I’m still playing around with it, but I already know when I finish everything this gift will mean more to her than anything else I’ve ever given her. Those are her words, not mine. So I started thinking that instead of just putting pics of us, it would be more memorable to put pics of our family, our childhoods, and some events that would remind us of how far we’ve come.
I think sometimes we forget about the past and take what we have for granted, especially the people we love the most. When the movie is done I want to show it to my whole family in hopes that this will remind everyone that without love nothing else matters, that people matter more than things.
So now I’m letting out my secret on how to use technology to bring people closer to each other. Feel free to copy my idea, but I have to warn you that if you do this and you’re a guy some beautiful woman in Bakersfield might come after you, or your family may think there’s a heart beating underneath that geek exterior after all. But I did warn you.
