Example Project Shows
Our course evolved out
of a popular program given at camera clubs across New England. Now it is
being offered to you as a 4 week class. Once you master the program,
you'll find so many ways to use it. For example, here are a just a few
personal reasons I have put shows together:
1. A Gift of
Heritage - taking all our family albums, I created a show of all six
of our children from baby to adulthood. This was shown after our
Christmas dinner with all of our family watching. Then everyone received
their own copy which contained the images and the show, thereby giving
them an archive of their heritage.
2. In Memoriam - when a
beloved family member passed away, I created a show based on her life
set to tasteful music. This was shown at the wake and provided all who
paid their last respects a chance to remember her full happy life and
special moments. You can view that show on my
show page.
3. Family Grand
Canyon hike - a very special hiking expedition with 9 family members
into the Grand Canyon has been captured in a special show.
You can see that show on our show page. |
