Dale's project

Dale recently purchased a new camera and lens in anticipation of our baby's arrival. Since then he's had a great deal of fun going out and taking photos and learning different software programs to digitally enhance them. In the past few weeks, he's taken some really stunning photos.

This morning, I came across some photo albums I'd purchased a while back but hadn't put to use yet. Then I charged Dale with a task/project. I told him I wanted him to start putting together an album of pictures he's taken, for the baby. He's spent the last few hours going through his recent photos as well as the massive archives of digital photos we have going back years.

He's pulled a number of photos and is now cropping and retouching them. When he's done with that, he'll put the images on a memory card and take it to Walgreens to print out.. I had originally suggested the nature themed photos he's been taking (insects and plants), but he's pulling family photos and holiday pictures as well. I've gotten glimpses of some of his choices. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished album. I hope our little one will appreciate it as well.
