For Christmas, my sister scanned several hundred old photos and organized thousands of prints into albums for my parents. I used several of her scans to make them a “life poster.”
I tried to go basically chronological, and I made the executive decision that only images of our immediate family would be included (and to me, that includes Kris and Haley). There are a very few exceptions. Amy, Michelle and Laura make appearances, and I decided to include shots of the two Olathe houses we did most of our growing up in. But basically, you won’t find extended family or friends here.
You’ll probably want to view a larger size to see any detail. Rest assured there’s some embarrassing shots in there!

What did you use to do this Jeff? Very nice!003 // Jeff Croft // 12.27.2005 // 7:52 AM
Knox- I used the instructions here: www.mikematas.com/2005/01/how-to-make-life-poster.html I modified them slightly, but that is more or less what I did. I used iPhoto and Photoshop, but obviously you could use other tools, as well. :)004 // oneighturbo // 12.27.2005 // 9:01 AM
very nice | very cool.005 // Brian E. Ford // 12.27.2005 // 12:19 PM
I dunno, having lived in the house for a couple years… I feel a little left out. Sleeping on a trundle bed next to a dollhouse during college warrants a photo or two. Heheh, just kidding. But… seriously… what’s the deal?006 // Jeff Croft // 12.27.2005 // 1:43 PM
I had 3000+ photos and had to pick 98 to go on the poster. I have to make some restrictions. Sorry. :)007 // Brian E. Ford // 12.27.2005 // 2 PM
I know. I’m just teasing.008 // jamesdavidasher // 12.27.2005 // 6:03 PM
Jeff, when you were a teenager, your head was, um, kind of big. Just wanted to point that out to you, in case you were unaware.009 // Jeff Croft // 12.27.2005 // 6:10 PM
James- I think it was more my hair that was big than my head. Oh, and fuck you.010 // dotsara // 12.27.2005 // 7:30 PM
It’s the cowboy hat + gingham shirt & yoda that I love the best. Hee.011 // Jeff Croft // 12.27.2005 // 8:17 PM

No! The wrestling picture is too embarrassing!014 // Brian E. Ford // 12.28.2005 // 9:16 AM
