Photo Booth
When your birthday rolls around and it’s not one of the big ones like a 21st or 30th, you generally don’t expect there to be much of a fuss, present-wise.
So, I was completely floored last month when I received the most amazing birthday gift from my girlfriend, LTL – it’s a book, created using Blurb, containing a whole bunch of photos I’ve taken over the last year or two, intermixed with beautifully-written notes from my friends.
The feeling of opening this book for the first time and seeing how much effort had gone into making it, is something that I’ll never forget. A huge thank you to Chris, Andy, Paul, Daniel, and Kate… and an extra-special thank you to LTL, you are truly amazing.
This is amazing Will. How sweet of LTL
:D:D!!!! Very happy for you.

Duuuude – that’s freaking awesome!
What’s the stock like? I’ve been looking at options for a bit now to do some printing.

The book looks great. As do the pictures. I’m proud to have played a small part in it.

Nice one, LTL. I got one of these printed for my girlfriend as a compendium of photos from our last trip overseas. It was done by Blurb too. It’s a stellar way to put all your photos in one place.

Wow, thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and nice comments!
Joel, I don’t know much about stock, but it’s certainly not flimsy – it’s very coffee-table-esque, actually.

cheers Dan – it was pretty damn special. I try and leave it in conspicuous places so people “accidentally” trip over it and pick it up, heh.
