I designed this layout for the Random Inspiration Challenge on the Baltic Amber blog. If you click on the first link you’ll see the inspiration piece, which was a furniture ad. If you scroll down you’ll see some other takes on it.
The ad inpsired me in three ways: I wanted to use the tan color and have texture. I also wanted to make use of the white. Originally I was going to use a white background and thought these photos would be good for that. Ultimately, I felt the white did not enhance the photos, so what remained in terms of inspiration is the tan and texture.
The cloth embellishment is from a shirt I cut up. The flat circular beads (lighter color) were from some flip flops (Target brand…anyone recognize them?). The smaller darker beads were from a hair clip I bought when I lived in the Philippines. They have extra sentimental value and I feel happy whenever I use them!
Journaling:
A luxury vacation with you is…
a good camera and some time to shoot.
Cintas Reward, July 2006, Cancun
While the others were soaking up the sun at the pool (water infested with too many bodies doing who knows what) we spent many hours practicing photography. You taught me how to shoot in manual mode and we had the best time taking photos of each other in good scenery.
