What an amazing inspiration. So true with the scanning thing too. I try to make sure to remind my students to not only scan their pictures but, their collages and paste papers as well- they make wonderful backgrounds and custom scrapbook paper :) Thank you for making my day with your insightful comment!

If one wanted to do that skip the scrapbooking and put the pictures in a photo album ;-) less time and effort that way. Daring is what makes art worth while. It's the artist that dared that makes their mark. It's the dare that leaves us breathless and wide eyed with wonder. It's the dare that sends a tingle down our spines to look at it. It's that dare that stays with someone following them around for days like a friendly ghost or half remembered dream. That is art. Although, if you ever find yourself unable to cut up that picture my advice is to scan it on your comp put it on a USB and take it over to your local photo lab and print out an extra copy for cutting up. Not only does this mean you don't have to lose the whole picture. You have an extra copy on your computer to share with others, and in case you totally screw up the cropping!
