We decorated our bedroom in January 2019 (a year ago) .My wife said she wanted a black and white print on the wall, maybe a seascape, as it would match the decor.
So I looked in my back catalogue and couldn't really find anything,
The weeks turned into months and my wife wasn't impressed by the blank wall !
When we went to Mallorca at the end of May, I took some nice beachscapes and arty sand pictures.
My wife liked them and said I will leave it up to you as you are the "Photographer"
Well the weeks passed and the wall remained blank ! She threatened to buy a print from a shop. "No" I told her , leave it to me !!!
I bought a nice frame in the summer from Ikea and left the frame in the spare bedroom for several weeks.
It got to about October time and I decided I better do it ! I uploaded the file to the online print shop (Tesco, only for the website to crash !!!)
I forgot about it for another few weeks until Christmas was here !
It got to January and my wife was still not impressed.
Anyway, I eventually uploaded the file to photobox (deciding Tesco were too expensive) and today the print arrived.
It's my footsteps in the sand in Mallorca, with the Med Sea about to wipe them out !
It looks really good and my wife is impressed, as it is a bit of Art we can connect with.
She wasn't impressed with the twelve month wait though !
There's a bit of window light reflected on the glass frame.
Oh and I thought I would share my new glasses with you. I need them for distance (driving, watching TV, etc.). I have another pair for reading ! They are quite retro and trendy ! I went into the opticians yesterday to replace my glasses case (a detour on my Ruby dog walking) and the lady in the opticians said "I hope i see you out and about more with your glasses" .. i think she was hinting I should wear them more !
I hope you like the Art, my glasses and my quite trendy jumper !
Yes. I like all of those things, but also your story. My son is waiting similarly for some artwork for his flat. It has been more than 12 months. He is not impressed.
Fabulous!
And a great story! It’s looks great and it’s always lovely to have your own photography on the wall, especially when it has a little back story!
Fav. Fantastic selfie shot. I like the sc and your story. You are lucky your wife waited for so long to have the picture framed and hanging. My wife always says: "Right now. Leave whatever you are doing and do this, haha". By the way was the picture taken when you lost your flip flops?
