It's a start


Yet more proof that a good friend can be the most important tool on any project... Jenna was over last week and we embarked together on her binder project. I feel some sense of ownership on the project, since I helped in her first reorg a million years ago, so I want to see her succeed in this new revamp. And, although I don't have her knack for the organizing, I do know my way around a computer, so I like to offer that help when I can.

So we started first in the Images tab of Google. It's funny, my vision of seasons images were very stereotypical, trees as they turned for fall, or a field of sunflowers for summer. But Jenna knows what she's doing and she asked for beauty shots of specific vegetables she associates with each season. We found the artichokes first and they set the tone for the rest of the pictures. We found awesome stuff, then sized them correctly and added text. Next we'll need to get them printed for the binders, and perhaps add a table of contents or something. But that will have to wait until we know what goes in which binders, which means Jenna has to get into those beasts and start culling and piling and recycling... which may take a little time. Here's hoping these images continue to inspire her...
