the saga of lost photo files

Well, I don't think it's a complete loss. Did I think I was going to blow up my photos into monstrous proportions? Not exactly. If I am unabale to use the flickr files for suitable printing, there is a lovely program called Qoop that will be able to print at least 8x10's and 8x12's. It gets a bit sketchy any biggerthan that.

I came back to the dodgy internet place with a translater and alas the files are unretrievable. But as my lovely mother pointed out, the letterboxes and doorknobs would not work so well as huge prints, but smaller as a series.

By the way, Mom: it was great to talk to you today. It kind of reminded myself of when I travelled Europe before and I would phone home wheneverI was having difficulty. And it was a snag, but certainly not the end of my visit in Brussels.

I don't think I will go back to the walking tours again and grapple at getting the same photos twice. It's not worth it. It will feel frantic and rushed and won't be any fun. But I may go early in the morning for a few doors that I remember. I'm glad I saw what I did. I am looking forward to getting out of this crazy neighborhood and visiting Brugge for 3 relaxing days. Who knows maybe there is a whole show on Brugge waiting.

I hope your class went well and the weather possibly improved, but then again, it's Alberta.


xoxo
Jill
