Maybe we take pictures to help us go back in time.
- An image can take you back to the past instantly!
As a parent, I made a conscious effort to take photos of a wide range of events, random activities, mountain vistas, my family and friends… and then print, share and catalog them.
- When you look at photos, you can feel the air all over again!
For my grandson, I always have the camera nearby. Simple activities make the best photos. Seeing ants, worms and June bugs through the eyes of a 2 year old is like seeing them for the first time.
- Take a photo as a precious way to mark time and remember it more vividly!
A photo is a gift we give to ourselves. It’s like writing in a journal – by reviewing the words or images, we are right back there again… reviewing a moment in time, breathing in that atmosphere from so long ago and feeling the same emotions all over again.
- A photo takes you right back to that place and time!
A photo is so much more than an image on paper, isn’t it?

Happily ... after retirement 
I started so late in life taking pictures. To my great sorrow, I have NO pictures of my life until about two years ago. That’s why I’m very careful about the ones I have.
Reading this, I see you have a grandson! I must have totally misjudged your age LOL!!!

You’re so right — photos capture way more than an image, they also hold emotions and memories. I love looking back at old photos, they do take me right back to the exact moment with all the memories.
Thanks, Marge!
