"Scrapbooking
is anything you do with pictures and words,
to honor a moment in time."
In this
class I am promoting a broad definition of scrapbooking
and comprehensive approach to memory preservation.
One
of the main reasons I am doing this is …
...for
Addie. Addie is three. I'm pretty sure Addie is more comfortable
with my iPhone than I am. Addie can turn on my phone, open
up my pictures, go to the All About Addie folder and find
the photo of her dressed as a bumble bee for Halloween.
Addie finds this photo almost every single day.
The
way we enjoy, share and use pictures has forever changed
and will continue to change as new technologies continue
to develop and provide us with as yet, unthought of avenues
of capture, connection and community.
It's
not going to benefit anyone now or in the future to hold
on to an archaic view of what scrapbooking is or should
be. Nor is it healthy to limit your creative efforts to
just one size, style, or output of personal expression.
Scrapbooking
includes traditional scrapbooks and photo albums. Traditional
scrapbooks come in all sorts of sizes and styles. Some sit
on a shelf, others can be tucked under a pillow. Scrapbooks
can be part of your home décor and even part of your
library of bound hardcover books.
The
good news is there are so many additional forms of scrapbooking
today.
- When
you display your photos on your phone or MP3 player or
some other hand held device, you are scrapbooking.
-
When you write a post on your blog, you are scrapbooking.
- When
you self publish using a service like blurb.com,
you are scrapbooking.
- When
you decide to post and share photos via a Shutterfly
Share Site, you are scrapbooking.
- When
you start a new Flickr
group (private or public) you are scrapbooking.
- When
you visit Shuttercal.com and start a daily calendar online,
you are scrapbooking. Note: you can see my Shutter
Cal here.
- When
you send out a Twitter
tweet or update your status on Facebook,
you are scrapbooking.
- When
you document milestones and memories at This
Moment you are most definitely scrapbooking.
This
is a short list of just a few of the tools and services
that provide us an avenue for recognizing and validating
our lives.
ANYTIME,
you do anything that freezes time, records personal perspective,
documents daily life or preserves, for now and the future,
words and/or photos, you are embracing the spirit of scrapbooking.
Welcome
to lesson two!
Before
you can take meaningful advantage of what technology and
the Internet has to offer, you need to be better acquainted
with your pictures and you need to establish a digital workflow.
Please don't be scared and don't worry - Yes, there is a
lot to do and yes, time is always short, but … there
is enough time to scrapbook your most important memories.
I'm
so glad you are here.
