Have you ever missed out on an important picture? Perhaps it was a family photo? A class reunion photo? Your family’s photo Christmas cards photo? Check this out: thanks to modern technology you can be in the photo without even being there.
Looking back, I realize now that there are at least two times in my life that I regret not being in a picture and wish I knew how to use picture editing programs back then. The first time was when an international youth magazine came to take a picture of our class. For most regular teens, that’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I had a terrible headcold that day and was home sick from school.
The second time was when I was a part of Youth Outdoors program. At that time in my life I considered it a big deal because it was something none of the other schools in that State had done and I got to be a part of it. Of course I happened to be absent again. I didn’t even know the picture had been taken until the yearbook came out. Even now, I look back and wish things could have been different.
Take a page from me and don’t spend years regretting who is not in an important photo: just break out the photo editing software and make that missing person a part of the photo. Almost instantly, you’ll have a great image for your Christmas card, corporate newsletter, or yearbook. What an easy solution!
