Today we're off to our family reunion--I can't wait to see everyone. My mom has been scanning and archiving old photographs for months and is giving everyone a DVD of about 1400 old-to-new photographs, scans of her grandmother's paintings and other various ephemera.
I got to help her with a slide show of pictures that we're showing at Friday evening's dinner. We created the presentation so that it looks like you're flipping through an old family album. Above is the album cover and below is a family tree for my Great Grandmother, Ophelia. The background is an old envelope that's addressed to her mother. In the actual presentation each photograph "appears" on the page, so you get to see the envelope by itself at first and it makes more sense...
The slide show is divided into chapters for each of Clyde and Ophelia's five children as well as other themes like Senior Pictures and Weddings. It's 40 minutes long, so I won't bore you with all the details, but wanted to show off the "chapter cover" for our family's section which is an old photo of my Grandfather.
Speaking of family reunions, did you see these great t-shirts?
