**CLOSED** JANUARY 25: Photo I Almost Didn't Take/Keep

MOC13 Jan 25 Photo I Almost Didn't Take/Keep

Thank you for hosting this challenge it reminded me the story is most important

My photo from underwater wasn't very exciting as there are no fish and there's no detail from the shipwreck but I kept it for the story

journaling reads:

Snorkeling in the Grand Cayman was fun if not loaded with fish. Underwater camera was a bit of a bust but we did get to see a legit shipwreck.
 
Photo of my late mother-in-law.

She hated having her photo taken so this was by stealth whilst she was making tea. Absolutely awful lighting, (dark) with very poor composition (a third of the photo was the door frame and wall on one side and the coats hanging up on the wall the other side). I lightened as best as I could and cropped quite a bit but I did want to show just how tiny her kitchen was - not that it ever held her back when it came to feeding her family!

MOC13 Day 25 - photo almost didn't keep
 
This set of photos especially was one of those before digital where you didn’t know until you developed it how bad it was. I was so excited to meet James Earl Jones and when I got the photo back, I look like a blurry ghost and the icon look a bit dumfounded! An important memory none-the-less.

January 25- Photo I Almost Didn't Keep.jpg

This was a classic case of a toddler not wanting his picture taken. I had made him Mickey pancakes to cheer him up while he was sick, and not only was he not impressed with the pancakes, he definitely would not cooperate for a picture!

I had originally thrown these pictures away because they weren't framed well and I looked...

Photo flaws: bathtub and bathroom stuff showing; ridiculous look on my face, dogs not captured well in the photo.

Journaling:
I took these selfies to show my husband how ridiculous the dogs were being because the fire alarm kept beeping. I deleted them, but then changed my mind and kept them as just a silly reminder of the day.
 
Thanks for the challenge - this was a tough one. I've scrapped two photos that make me so ashamed.

MOC 13 - 25 - Shame

Translation - and explanation why I don't like these photos:
I usually keep every photo, no matter if they are good or not, but both of these photos I never intended to use in my scrapping. Both of them makes me feel ashamed, for different reason. The left photo because I'm so fat. I'm in Leksand with Tina, Janet and Ammi, and we just had a wonderful lunch. You can really see just how extremely full I am, and more or less floats out in the chair. My weight has Always ben something I've been ashamed over. On the right photo I'm about 20 kilos lighter. I felt so thin and Beautiful, and took a photo of myself in the mirror. Only to later notice how messy the room was. And that's the second thing I've always been ashamed over: my total inability to keep the home tidy. But I'm working on accepting who I am and have been. Because - noone else can be as good as me at being me. I am who I am.
