Now that I have a system I like, I'm getting faster at putting together scrapbook pages. I'm spending less time  worrying about the photos as whole images and am thinking more about how to put the story together. There are images that I'll put (uncropped) into my larger "photography" album, which allows me to treat the book I was working in tonight as my "story book" which documents my adventures.

Brussels, Belgium:

DrupalCon, Washington DC:

A few extra notes on these pages:

• Although I like both pages, I prefer the Brussels page. It has photos which fit together nicely (and has no pictures of people). The Belgian flag and vertical photos please me to no end.
• The DrupalCon page, on the other hand, is mostly photos of people that I pilfered from Flickr. I'm lousy at getting my camera out and snapping photos of humans and am grateful that others have uploaded their pictures. The layout is about as "exciting" as my photos of people.
• I still have a hard time with title placement and lettering. My hand writing is atrocious, but getting slightly better as I practice more. I used to really enjoy doodling letters, but for some reason I'm getting stuck on making nicer titles.
• I spent a few extra minutes to add some notes to both of these pages.
  Unfortunately I was doing it while distracted by an audio book. I
  should have pressed pause and focused at least a little bit. Oh well, it's done now.
