For several years soon after college I was a photo editor for an encyclopedia publisher. I tend to be an organized person, but that job made me very particular about my photos. Since 1997, I have created a photo album for the year, every year. It's always my January project (although this year I am very behind) and one of my favorite things to do. Especially now, since its so easy to get books printed.
When I was trying to think of additional materials to add to the Moving Pictures website, I came up with the idea of making a photo album for Magda's life. I love looking through photos, especially old ones, and there are several vendors at the Pasadena City College swap meet that have tables of them. I've had so much fun picking through photos and finding ones that might become a part of Magda's life. Although, writing captions for them has not been very easy.
I think the photo albums add a touch of whimsy and perspective to Magda's "fictional memoir." From the feedback I've gotten already, it seems to be a hit.
