…put a picture in a picture frame?  Are you SURE?  Maybe you don’t do it CORRECTLY.  Well I just learned how to properly install a picture in a picture frame.

My husband is a budding photographer. He has been taking some amazing pictures, recently moving from landscapes last year into portraits. He took both of our teens’ Senior pictures, as well as a student from our youth group’s.  He is getting better all the time at composition and lighting and everything else.  And what he doesn’t get quite right, I can then tweak in Photoshop Elements 8, because he shoots in RAW format, and it is so FUN the play with.  

So, he recently took this picture, which we had printed 16×20, and bought a frame for it.  He took the girls from New Hope House out for a photo shoot.  This is the one we’re sending down, for the house.

Now remember, putting a picture in a frame is TRICKY!  Since we may not do it right, instructions were included with this frame, which we purchased at Michael’s craft store. I know that it says “Assembly Instructions”, but the frame was already assembled. It just needed a picture.

Let me see if I have this straight:  LIFT the tab with my finger, put the picture in, and PUSH the tab DOWN with my finger.

Yes, I think we did it correctly.

I think I need a new category called “Stupid Instructions” or “For Dummies”, or something like that.
