Friday, November 6, 2009 was my 10 year wedding anniversary. Susana and I were married 10 years ago at the St. Julian Eymard Catholic Church in Algiers. We had a traditional wedding with traditional photography. I received a traditional wedding book of 4x6 proofs and an order form ... we never ordered any of the proofs. A few years ago, I purchased the negatives from our photographer a few years ago hoping that I would be able to create an album for my wife. I am not a traditional photographer and of course the pictures were not at all what I 'needed' for my wife's album - a lot of flash and traditional, static poses. I'm not complaining about the photography, but ten years later, we do not shoot this way anymore. After scanning the negatives and a lot of color correctin', I finally put together a flushmount album for Susana. It's actually a 10X10 leather bound book with a canvas image cover and silver gilding. Ten years from now I will be criticizing my work, too!
