As a photographer I obviously value photography. I take my job very seriously. I am making memories for others, for you! I know that I am in a tiny way a part of your future and your past. That is why I love prints and hope that you frame them and put them in albums for your grandchildren and great grandchildren.
I just had a interesting conversation with a grandma and great grandma who still takes lots of photos with her digital camera and makes prints of them all and puts them in an album. She expressed her concern that she doesn’t think enough people are printing their memories. I have to agree with her and in some way am myself guilty. But I also know that I back everything up in two different ways so that hopefully my children’s memories won’t be lost. Are you making sure your memories are not lost?
A friend of mine had some good words that I just had to share. “It is important that we keep good clear memories of our loved ones, our friends and even our pets. Not to forget capturing those special moments that will last a life time. While most people’s memories fade over time, we will still have that image in our hand to gently remind us of the good times and the great people we’ve had in our lives.. We might forget the names… But we will sure remember their faces. These images we take will go into our note books and our friends, lovers and loved ones will be able read it back and show to us our lives in pictures as we get older. What better memories can you hold in your hand that that ?” Riker
