Project #2...check

This has been a work in progress for quite some time. It took us a while to decide how big we wanted the outside frame and how many frames we wanted on the inside. Then we had to find all the frames (clearance baby clearance) which took awhile. Next we had to decide what family photos we wanted to use, here was the criteria: the photo had to be able to be enlarged to the desired size, the photo couldn't be too damaged, blurry, etc. you get the picture (no pun intended). Then it was off to photoshop for some touch up work and finally into the frame and onto the wall. It's been a long process, and are really happy with the final product!!




Here are some of the photos we used. These are not touched up or cropped, they are the original scans.

Trent's grandpa Kay Allred

This is an old photograph of the Allred Family Farm. We really love the look of the old machinery.

I hope you got extra credit in your photography class for this Millie. The framing is awesome! I used to work in a frame shop (in Provo) and I would have passed you on to somebody else. This is an amazing project. Very awesome! Good job. I love all of those pictures too!

Wow! That is an incredible project! What awesome pictures! Too bad you can't just scan the whole wall for me!

I almost missed this post! I love the wall display, and I can totally appreciate the "process" of picture prep. I would be so anal about the frames and which one in each. Ugh, lots of work, but an awesome and meaningful display to show for it!

Thanks for posting your project #2 Millie. I've been waiting and it was worth the wait. I enjoyed seeing a glimpse into Trent's family photo albums.

What a wonderful effect! Since I saw the beginning, I can appreciate the additional work that you have done. It really is a conversational masterpiece.
