With all my time and attention going to my Shutterchance (SC) blog these last 3 days, I feel quite remiss in caring for you here at In Soul. Sigh. Part of that has been because I've been on a high learning curve, attempting photo collages (more on that in a minute).
Anyway, in case I haven't yet told you, I have purchased a new dSLR camera (Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, for those of you into photography) and placed my eyes on it for the first time a week ago when Donica returned with it from Atlanta. Talk about a monstrosity for my tiny hands! Well, the lens is the culprit.
Both of these photos were taken while in London (Milton Keyes) this past Saturday for the SC BBQ meet-up. Busola is the guy standing with me in front of the mirror.
So, back to the photo collages! The first day, Monday, I didn't have a clue what to do and even wrote my sister, Ruth. Donica called me during the day and could hear the frustration in my voice. I was getting nowhere fast. And I wanted to have something ready for my next day's post on SC. I thought a collage would be a good way to consolidate all the pics of the 19 of us there.
Donica, bless her, did a bit of searching and found a link for me that I printed out and followed. And while doing that, some other things fell into place. Voilà!
This is/was my very first photo collage, highlighting Busola.

Then I got carried away! This was what I posted today on SC, showing the 5 of us SC girls who were there.
And this one will be posted tomorrow of the guys, of course.
And this one on Friday, a non-SCer who was there and whose face really caught my eye.
All of these collages you can see in bigger format on my SC site.
So see! You really can teach an old dog new tricks! (Come hell or high water, I might add!)
Tomorrow I will be training the 21 minutes from Amsterdam to Naarden to meet yet another blogger, JoAnn. Some of you may have seen her comments here of late. What a sweetie. Another redhead! You can imagine what THAT will be like. :)
And hopefully before Donica and I fly home to Atlanta on Saturday, I'll actually get caught up with all of you. That'll definitely be my goal!
