Have you ever had a photo so special you just can't bring yourself
to scrapbook it? One that you've picked up *opened up* in Photoshop more than once only to put it away again close it because you don't feel like you can do it justice?
This is how I feel felt about this image of Ella when she was just a few days old. It's a poor quality photo taken on my old 2.1 megapixel Olympus camera. It was a good camera at the time and cost me $750.00. Just goes to show how things have moved on in the camera world since year 2001.
Nevertheless, this is my absolute favourite photo of Ella as a baby. In spite of the technical imperfections, I adore it, and it's taken me almost 8 years to actually getting down to scrapbooking this imperfectly perfect little snapshot. What was I waiting for?
As is
often the case, thinking about it is so much harder than just getting down to the task of doing it, and now that the page
is done, I still only see that imperfectly beautiful photo. The rest is just the icing on the cake.
So much wasted time trying to achieve perfection when the photo is already perfect.
Try it.
