Creating a photo book is easier than you think (kind of…)
In the last 10 years or so, digital photography has exploded in terms of the variety, options, and abilities to capture memories and moments.

One of the most natural thing we do when we enter into the world is to ‘see’

Can you believe we’re already a quarter of the way through 2011? That means it’ll be six months since I first landed in a still balmy Geneva spring morning. Where does the time go?
