The Slideshow
Here is the link to the slideshow of my totally 80's Birthday Party. A fun time was had by all, especially the kids. I loved taking pictures at my own party. I bought a new camera this week the Canon 5D, and it is so totally sweet. I am shooting every day to get used to it. There isn't alot more to learn, but it can do so much more than any of my previous cameras, and I am still trying to shoot manual every day to have that become 2nd nature. Not easy, but worth all the effort.
I perused itunes for an hour to come up with the perfect slideshow song, trying to find a clean song is not especially easy, atleast when it comes to the songs I used to listen to in the 80's ;0 Low and behold it was Madonna that came through for me! Perfect song as I was asking every one to strike a pose for me during the night so I could take their pics. Another thing I learned, that I didn't know back in the 80's, one does not need to drink Absolut to have a fun time dancing!! it was great fun to dance without any libation at all. Family and friends made it a perfect night.
There were SO many people I wanted to invite to the party, but I had to keep the count down as the fire code restricted the place to 72 people. One person commented that my family alone takes up about 35 of that. I really wanted it to be family fun so I was only able to invite a handful of friends along with their kids and spouses. Maybe when I am 50 I will rent a larger space and we will do it all over again.
