We Got Framed!

Once at a month at our church we have a Lunch Fellowship. A group of ladies make the main course, and the rest of the congregation bring large salads and desserts. We chip in $2 a person to cover main course ingredients and the necessary foam plates, cups etc. What a delicious deal once a month!

I used to be a part of the Lunch Fellowship group making the main dish, but have recently resigned. It got to be a little too much for me and my compromised heart.

But I have been fortunate to have taken an exciting secondary role. I take pictures of everyone during the meal. These pictures are then posted on a computer screen and are slide-showed through for everyone to see.

Despite what EVERYONE says,
EVERYONE loves to see their picture up on the big screen.

I am not a professional photographer ... as you can see ... but for the fun factor, pictures of events make it memorable. For this past Lunch Fellowship I purchased a picture frame at a thrift store for $3 and simply gave it to the person or persons who was going to be in the next shot. Here Hubby and I 'got framed' by another using my point and shoot camera.

It was interesting to see what people did with the frame. Some held it straight like a traditional portrait, some held it landscape style to hold two people. Genius grabbed it with one hand and held it far away from himself for a different effect.

My crazy girls poked their heads right through for a fun image.

I will have to put my thinking cap on for a different idea for pictures next time around. I believe I took 67 pictures of the participants of the Lunch Fellowship this time, and not one was the same. I suppose that proves that we are all unique in our own way.
