so while trying to figure out what i'm doing for my boy for valentine's day, i realized he has hardly any of pictures of me. just me and not hiding (i'm impossible to photograph). so i am enlisting my friend in taking black and white pictures of me in various outfits (clothes i've made, outfits i wear often, and some dressy pictures) that kind of really portray who i am.

i'm doing it in black and white because i have a weird obsession with black and white/old movie star look/etc. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on backdrops or anything? (going outside is not an option. it's cold as hoth here with 3 feet of snow) so far my idea has been to drape bedsheets against a wall (polka dot, striped, etc) to give it at least some effect. i have the space for it, i just need more ideas.

also, how could i display some photographs and give him the others? last year i made a hinged 3 frame and painted and decorated it, so i'm trying to avoid that. i was thinking about stringing 3 together vertically so it would look like a ladder, kind of. but how to give him the other ones? just handing him a photo album is not my style.

sorry this was long, hopefully it helped others for a v day gift.
thanks xox
