Tell a Story

A great way to share or display photographs is to tell a story.  When you buy a frame, many times you will see them matted with three openings to display three prints.  You can also print out storyboards/collages that put three or four photographs side by side.  These are perfect ways to show a series of memories.  You can tell a story of your son’s birthday party with photographs of your son blowing out his candles, opening his gifts, and a family picture from that day.  Another story idea can be displaying your three children all at the age of 1.  You can also display three continous action shots (daughter dancing).  Next time you take pictures of your family or friends, think about telling their story!
