Every photograph is a work of art and a window into the past. Photographs represent moments, memories and feelings frozen in time. Without photographs, our memories and the past would fade from consciousness. These images on paper we so often take for granted are nothing less than miracles to be forever treasured and preserved.
My philosophies and love for photo's evolved from a lack and loss of family photo's due to fire, hurricanes and cancer. My maternal grandparents lost many of their photo's when their house burned and my paternal grandparents lost their photo's when hurricane Camille devoured their house in 1969. Then, in 1970, my mother destroyed many of our family photo's when she cut them up to make a collage of loving memories for her children before she died of lung cancer. I have spent the last three decades collecting, copying and preserving every photograph of family and important events I could find. My relatives may be quite tired of me pestering them for photo's and information but, in return, they will receive an exquisite legacy album and family tree they will be proud to share with future generations.
My life-long quest and love of photographs led me to learn many new skills and to create new designs and inventions for archiving and presenting these beloved treasures. As a working, single mom with two children, I simply did not have the time to scrapbook the many boxes and drawers of mounting photographs. In desperation, I tried everything from photo albums to scrapbooks to digital scrapbooks but still could not find the time to mount my photo's fast yet with the elegance and style I craved. I found I was not alone in my sufferings of being "time-impaired", everyone I met complained of this same malady. After pondering many solutions to this dilemma, I awoke early on the day after Thanksgiving, 2003 with a vision of what I called the "Killer App". Jostling my elder daughter from a deep sleep to share my elation, she figured I was crazy but she knew I was on to something.
Now, after almost four years of designs and re-designs, I will soon share my vision with fellow time-impaired sufferers. Neither will the cries of the cutting and gluing-impaired be ignored for I was once one of them. My timeless, instant albums and pages require absolutely NO cutting, gluing or pasting. Instant gratification is now finally within our reach. Amen!
