A project from our friend, Chicago photographer Kelli Taylor: My grandmother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and has always adored photography. So for this Christmas I created a Family Facebook: close-up candids of her, her children, grandchildren, and great grandbabies. Laughing moments, quiet moments, and everything in between. The common denominator is smiles, and there are 36 pages of them. The Kolo Cortina Lux photo album provided a perfect home, and I’d like to try it in a Kolo Riva photo album next, for family members who’ve requested additional copies. As Kelli explains in Comments, she was inspired by a panoramic album technique that photographer Michael Gilbert showed us in a previous post here. See more of Kelli Taylor's photography here. Another Koloist post about this project appears here. Also, you can see more photos of this project on Ugo's flickr page. - Ugo |

I’m so happy you like it. I actually borrowed the idea from Michael Gilbert’s post here on Koloist back in September. He does these really beautiful panoramic spreads with the photograph lying directly across the fold. They look fantastic, but my photo paper was a little too thick to achieve the same look. So I improvised by cutting the picture in half and adhering it as close to the crease as possible (Kolo’s photo tape gun works really well for a tight, crisp mount like this.)
I loved the look, especially when seen as a whole… there’s another duplicate black and white photo on the left page, which gives it the look of one continuous piece of photo film. So fun to play around with unexpected layouts.
What wonderful perception.
