Design Crafters

The problem with going to someplace like the Forbidden City is that you end up with so many incredible pictures, it’s hard to choose which one to use for your Christmas photo greeting cards. Unless of course you’re like Sam.

Sam is a college student I ran across who came across the opportunity to do some service in China. This was especially a big deal as he never in his life had even been outside his own state. One of the “must visit” places was the Forbidden City. He packed up his 35mm camera, jumped on the plane, visited the Forbidden City and apparently got some fantastic photos. Or so he claims. Unfortunately his luggage with the film, camera and pictures mysteriously disappeared and was never recovered. His intention was to scan these pictures (making them digital) and turn them into photo cards. For once in his life he could share his adventures, instead of everyone telling him about theirs.

You can probably imagine his disappointment when it all disappeared. But that didn’t stop him. He was lucky enough to have a friend who knew just what to do. They actually went online, downloaded a picture of The Forbidden City and super imposed himself into the picture.

It apparently looked real, convincing everyone and allowing him to still share his adventure.
