Making Presents
Tim Bray, writing about making your own Christmas presents:
This is a great idea, and, as it happens, we did something similar this year too — a calendar of 2008 pictures, by month — for my parents-in-law. While I’m not a (serious) photographer, I think the result came out pretty well. We didn’t print it ourselves (FedEx did, and charged far too much, long story) so this isn’t quite making the present, but it was definitely worth doing.
I’m pretty sure we’ll do the same again next year (and just get someone else to do the binding). As long as I can take enough decent pictures, anyway — better start now, I guess!
