I used to look at old photos and think they were funny but now i feel more nostalgic. It seems to evoke a mixture of joy at recalling the happy times and longing to hold the present in your hands for just a little bit longer. When I see pictures of my boys as babies I realize I have forgotten how tiny there little hands are and the innocence that they radiated. But just as you say in your piece, the future holds so much potential for new albums of memory. <BR/>I love the descriptive quality to your writing.

All of my friends and family involved in creative memories almost completely destroyed any sentimentality I might have otherwise had. <BR/><BR/>But the older I get, the more I can relate to this post. Photos are an odd thing - such a new invention, really. They place a stamp on time and contain it and force our memories to be contained, too. The written word did the same thing, but in a different way. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, beautiful post.

They don't know the people, the emotions, the events being commemorated. They lose all context. The photos aren't appreciated as being living things.<BR/>The wonderful aspect about photos is the memories. They are reminders, place markers of another time. <BR/>I think the second-best photos have a story with them, written on the back of the photo and dated. <BR/>The very best photos are the ones like you describe... Where the family history is passed on, made real by the person narrating the stories. The people are real. The love is real. <BR/>This was beautifully written Lindsay.
