Dude! That's So Random!

Dude! There's a difference between randomness and sloppiness. Dude! Don't get those confused.

I mean, wearing those Daffy Duck boxers your kids got you for Fathers Day under your tux ---- that's random. Leaving those same dirty boxers on the bathroom floor for your wife to pic up ---- Dude! that's sloppy.

Same thing in the scrapbook.



In this page, putting the interior pix in a scatter pattern, having the stitched house exterior pic overlap, having the same basic pose of the kids side by side three times, and a trimmed picture of the street sign ---- that's sort of random and unexpected.

But don't let something like this be an excuse for not thinking through what you want on the page or being unintentional about how things are placed. That's just sloppy.

So being random can be good. Being sloppy is just bad form.

And one more thing ---- Dude! Pick up your underwear off the bathroom floor!

Dude! Chop Chop!

Dude! God didn't shape the whole world with right angles. Why would you?

Don't let the camera determine the shape of all your pix. Be a man! Shape them to your liking!

This hike was full of boulders randomly piled along the trail to the river rapids. Right angle cornered pictures looked out of place. Problem solved with a pair of scissors.



Of course, you could try to solve it a more girly way. I'd tell you how that would be if I knew but I can't because I'm a man.

Dude! Chop Chop!
