My most recent photography assignment, due just moments ago, was to create a "demotivational poster." If you have seen motivational posters you can probably guess what this is. De-motivational posters can be found for sale or just for show online. The site my instructor sent us to was despair.com. Check it out and have a few good laughs! The assignment was to create one of our own using a photo we have taken and the photo editing software. As you will see at despair.com, some are really funny, and some are tacky. I chose the more tacky route. I couldn't help myself!
My friend Heather and I are both pregnant and due on the same day, with boys. Since I've already had Shaun and my kids in several of the photos I've turned in I thought it would be fun to have one with Heather and I. What better than a tacky demotivational poster? So, I came up with the idea on Friday and she and Jeff, her husband, agreed to be part of my project. They may regret it... I told them my idea and then yesterday, after the baby shower I did for Heather, we set to work. After several photos we came up with a good one for the composition and I had finally stopped having a laughing fit just long enough to get a good shot. It was truly funny seeing us there posed for this and I couldn't stop laughing.
I hope you like it! Tell me what you think. I wish I'd come up with something funnier for the caption but I ran out of time. You'll get the point.

Awesome poster! And what cute baby bellies!
Did you get any further info about midwives and homebirths?
Great poster and I like the caption--the curves has a double meaning!
As for your hard drive, have you considered adding an external drive to store your photos and then a second one for backup? That is what I do and I love it because I use a portable one for my main photo storage and can take them wherever I go and use with my laptop.
You can get an external hard drive... I have one and it was really easy to install... plus it's a good back up in case your internal hard drive crashes. I use mine mainly for pictures and music though... I'm not sure how big they make them up to either, but I know that they have dropped significantly in price the past few years.
Renee must have been typing the same time as me :) Anyways, I looked at bestbuy.com and you can get a 1 TB (which I'm guessing would be plenty of room) for anywhere between $110-$200.
Kara- Nope, haven't found anyone yet. Have you been able to reach any of the attachment parenting people?
Renee and Allie- I do have an external drive which I've been using for back up. I hadn't thought of buying a second one. I'm just sooo nervous about having my photos anywhere else! I'm afraid I could somehow loose them.
Love the poster! Would be great in the hallways of any high school or college or bar!
