This week has passed so quickly. I am heading to Detroit for a Wedding today and off to the US Virgin Islands tomorrow. It is going to be a long day and night since my flight leaves at 6:30am. We have to leave our house at 4:30am. That means that I will get about 2 hours of sleep after returning home from my all day wedding in Detroit. Have you ever seen a zombie walking through the airport.
My week started off with trying to work on my Wedding images from last weekend and having computer trouble. My desktop was crashing everytime I opened their images. I thought that it had a bit against the couple but it turned out that my heat sink, which helps to reduce heat, came dislodged somehow from my motherboard. I usually work on my computer myself but I could not figure out what was going wrong. The computer guy soldered the board back together and I had it the next morning. Needless to say, it set me back a day or so.
Wednesday I built Judith and Paul’s rought Wedding album pre-design. You can see it at http://www.paulretherford.com/judithpaul
They decided to go with a traditional album design with the mats and the images behind them as apposed to the flush mount where the image is the entire page. The traditional has some design restrictions where the flush mount is open to the imagination. I designed the album with ivory pages since they asked for an leather ivory album. I use Renaissance albums and they will be getting a 12×12 album.
Brenda and Neal emailed me their second edit on their album. You can see their album at http://www.paulretherford.com/brendaneal
Brenda really wanted to get the entire album but it didn’t fit in her budget right now. I am working with her to design an album that will bring her back to her Wedding day everytime she takes a peek.
I had an email yesterday from a couple asking if I do slideshows of images from growing up for the reception. I do these slideshows and you can email to find out pricing. This is a nice touch to have while dinner is wrapping up or even at the ceremony while you are letting people out of the pews. I always show an image slideshow at my events during the reception on my computer. People are welcome to walk up to it and see images that I have captured during the day. I am brave in that I show the unedited images.
So, my brother is going to take us to the airport and then drop our car off for us on the day we come in. What a nice guy. I can’t believe that my car will not let me lock it and then put the keys back in the car. I tried everything and this car will not let me lock the keys in it. Can you imagine the gull of this car maker not letting me lock my keys in. The dealer once told me that it was like $1000 for them to break into my car and get my keys if I locked them in. Good to know that I can’t do it without two sets of keys!
Hey, why don’t you book a fishing trip with my brother out of Grand Haven, Michigan for a beautiful day on the water and some great fishing. Most of the time you will pay for the trip in salmon fillets, of course we do not guarantee this but it happens alot. I run the boat during most of the weekdays and he runs during the weekend. Of course you will catch more fish during the weekdays since I am running it. Check out brother brother brother’s website at http://www.catchabunch.com
Another thing for you to check out is my neighbors boy six month images. She was funny when she called me, she said, “well, Andrew is having this fit problem that he SCREAMS when any man talks to him.” She went on to say, “just don’t talk to him.” Me being the likeable guy that I am, interested Andrew very much and he did not scream or cry but it did take a while for him to smile. I decided to use backlighting for his images and they were all done at their house. You can see some of the images at http://www.paulretherford.instaproofs.com
I took about 250 in all and they got all of the images on DVD in color and black and white.

I got to get on my tractor now and mow the lawn before leaving. This will be the first lawn mowing of the year. Lawn looks good.
Everyone take care.
