On this last day of January 2016, I am making a "Hail Mary pass" on the 2015 slide show. I can be late, but I draw the line at posting the 2015 recap in February.
Here is my excuse. By mid-December, I had the slide show 90% complete. I had chosen photos, selected the music, and I just needed to add the final Christmas photos. And it was cute. Catchy, upbeat, fast... I was happy with the outcome. After the first of the year, I added the remaining photos, and it was complete.
But then I had trouble with Vimeo and YouTube... long story short, the peppy little slide pattern I had chosen wasn't compatible with their platforms. After a few weeks of troubleshooting and various tutorials, I scrapped it and went back to the original. As for the music, I needed a longer song. The trio have had a vintage favorite this past year, and therefore, it seemed like the obvious choice.
After some delay and some esoteric detail that you did not need, here is a capsule of 2015, and may your 2016 be filled with love and light:
