“The RoseBouquet”

Being able to spend a few days at home, and done with the translation job, means I’ve been back in full swing with the renovations on my web sites. Yesterday I finished on the BouquetofEnterprises.biz site. I’ll move on to re-do a small one I’m maintaining for missionary friends, and then that hour will shift into high marketing gear.

I’m making faster progress now with the re-doing of the articles in my Sharing Library site, and when I have those done I’ll have to stop to change all the author photos of myself to a new one. After that there is still the resources section and the greeting cards section to work over.

Speaking of the author photo - remember the chance I gave you last week to vote on which one you thought I should use? A big “Thank you” to all those who took the time to reply on this. I do appreciate your comments.

Almost every single person who responded took the #1 photo as their first choice. Now that makes me smile!

I may appear to have less grey hair there, and it’s a younger-looking shot perhaps, but I happen to know that I had flipped the photo so I could have one where I was facing to the right. Thus, it now looks backwards to me. It’s also taken from above me, which is a currently vogue way of taking advertising shots, but I wonder if folks will perceive me to be shorter for that. At any rate, I take those votes as compliments. Thanks

I had thought I would go with # 4 (It has to fit into the top of the right column), but last night I was printing out some photos, and I began to like # 11 or #12 better. When I printed out those from # 2- 4 and 5, I began to like that shot better again. So? I’m still not fully decided. I should work with # 1 some more and see if that might do…

On the other hand, Dad is now seriously considering buying a digital camera in time for the Friesens Cousins Reunion weekend after next, and I might just wait and have another go at these photos with the new digital, keeping in mind the pros and cons I’ve seen here. Maybe we could get around those shadows too!

Do you happen to know where the best bargain prices are on digital cameras?
