i've signed up for Stacy Julian's online Library of Memories class, which i'm hoping will help (so excited about this!). Found her Big Picture book so liberating.
Today i was reading Ali's Studio A article in this February's CK and what she said totally struck a chord:
'Adopt a philosophy of “good enough.” For me, this means keeping the focus on the story. “Good enough” means you’ve told your story to your own personal satisfaction. Maybe the design isn’t exactly what you first envisioned. Maybe your handwriting isn’t perfect. “Good enough” is about adopting the perspective that, years from now, people will care most about the photos and the words. The rest is window dressing. '
i spend way too long agonising over layouts, trying to get them just right until i'm super happy with them, but i want to record more memories. So i am going to scraplift more, keep it simple & adopt Ali's "good enough" philosophy. This is the way forward.
