Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations
Nicely done Erlik it doesn't matter about quality of photos for this it is the subject which counts most. Mine is not a good photo either the sides of the light box are reflecting off the glass - no I have not been to Dalmatia.
Been to Kos - I love Greece - nearly posted a little model of the parthenon :))

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.

uhhhhh...noo...it does matter about the quality of photos here. The encouragement is to try to take the best shots you can of the subject. Set up a backdrop,or try the best lighting. After all this is a Photography forum. Well this is just one mans opinion. I say do your best.

anyway, kemal made the box out scrap wood. the shells and sand that are glued on it are from our honeymoon. we had a beach wedding and the sand is sand we were standing on when we got married almost 8 years ago. We were married on Fernadina Beach, Florida.
The shells come from there, as well as from Cumberland Island, which is off the coast of Georgia & Florida. We spent part of our honeymoon there. A few of the shells come from Gulf Shores, Alabama, where we stayed for 3 weeks on our vacation 2 years ago. We went with our best friends who got married there.
The orange rock on the top of the box is from Cave City, Kentucky (Mammoth Cave area). Kemal and i went there 1 month after we first met; it was our first vacation together. (yeah...we fell in love...not at first sight but pretty damn fast! LOL!)
anyway, Kemal wanted to make something special from our little mementos. he even wired it up. it has a small lightbulb behind it and we use it as a nightlight. i didn't have it lit for this image though.
the photos are all pics i when we were in Gulf Shores 2 years ago.
anyway, i took the pic this light box morning and spent about 4 hours on this image. i know it's not that good, but it made me happy to make it and to share it with ya'all! i did do my best. this kind of thing is really hard for me.
Richard...luv that glass piece!!! sigh I would love to see that island!
Cindy...what an extraordinary collection you have! so many wonderful things!
Kort...beautiful engraved art!
Erlik...wonderful collection!

Thanks, people. Yeah, I took a bit of care with the composition, but the lighting is the built-in flash on C-5050. Which cannot be used up close because of the lens shadow. Funny thing with the souvenirs, I usually bring to other people stuff connected to the place where I was. And forget to take souvenirs for myself. :-) So, I'm picking the next one, right? On Saturday? It surprised me that so much time passed between the first post and mine. Where have you been? :-)
