MOC4-5: Reflections

Description
For MOC4 Day 5 – Imperfect Photo Challenge. I’m hosting this one! Come and play!

These photos of the city at night were “ruined” by odd reflections of my son using his laptop near the window. Since the laptop in the hotel room thing is pretty typical of any of our trips, I decided to embrace the reflections and include this aspect as part of the story. I enlarged one of the photos where you could most clearly see the reflection of his face as well as the laptop, and then used callouts to link in the reflections in the other shots. The journaling tells the story of why I took the photos, as well as explaining the reflections.

Journaling: The kids and I accompanied Mark to the 2014 TAOM convention in Fort Worth. We explored the shops, restaurants, and museums, and relaxed in our hotel room while Mark attended all the various convention events. The nighttime view from the room was mesmerizing. We really enjoyed gazing out the windows at the lights of the city, and trying to catch a glimpse of the giant umbrellas in Sundance Square in motion. I attempted a few photos of the amazing lights, but all of my shots to the southeast seemed to have these strange glowing billboards in them. Upon closer inspection, I found that they were actually reflections showing how Matthew spent most of his evenings in the room. Have laptop – will travel. 8 30 14

this is just so cool and inspirational Kim! i love your story and i am pretty sure i had that happen to me in a hotel too. great idea to make it the story and scrap it anyway. the call outs are genius - and actually that big blown up area at the bottom makes for a pretty awesome and creative shot. almost as if it was intentional. i love this!
 
What a fun story! I just love that blown up pic! The pics turned out great after all!
 
This is so cool Kim! Love the way you highlighted the "imperfection" in the photo with the circles and arrows pointing to the larger version. Fabulous page!
 
This is such a fun story! I love the last words, I think we digiscrappers can all relate, can't we? Beautiful design too!
 
This is a really cool page. I love the story and can relate to those experiences when you look closely at a photo and suddenly realized something you overlooked before. I'm really impressed with how this page is dark and bright at the same time!
 
What a fantastic way to play up the imperfections on your pictures here! I love that you blew up the reflection big on one of them and them totally twisted the page to make the reflections the focus of your page! :)
