Today I was surfing through my old photographs my friend. I say a photo with three of my school friends. As I saw thw photograph, I could resist my memories passing through my mind. I just loved those schooldays my friend. We had different names kept for us. We used to stand under a tree for hours after the school bell rings each day. We used to fight to get the food in the other's tiffen box. 20 of us used to go to a shop taking just Rs.2 in hand in total. It was a totally commical world for us my friends. As I remembered all these I had my eye wet. Do you've any such memories my friend?

Hi rock_me_in As I read your discussion, my eyes itself started wetting my friend. Really olden days are golden days my friend. Certain incidents, we can not forget, especially when we enjoy lighter and great moments with our near and dear ones, it will remain in our mind ever fresh and when we recollect those happy moments by seeing those old photo graphs, definitely we feel like we are travelling in the time machine and crave for those golden days to come back

It is always a pleasant experience going through the family photo albums including ours and our children.The photographs are the vehicles that carry us through the memory land and have the capacity to make us wait and savor the wonderful moments of our past.Another absolute pleasure is seeing the growth of our children in different stages and reminiscing the memories.

I love to look at old photos as well. I've got pictures from most every year that I was in school and every time I look at them they evoke happy memories from me. I love to look at the ones from in Elementary school because they are the most distant school memories but they also bring back the memories that were the most fun. Way back in elementary school my life was without a care and to see the pictures of the people that I shared that chapter of my life with takes me back to those times when I was still a child and didn't know the troubles that I would face in this life.

Photographs are memories. It reminisce the past and things we have done already. The people we treasure and have many fonder memories. this give us the comparison of life we have just past and the present. It was a reflection of our past. It is a nice feeling to be looking over the photographs and good memories did remain for lifetime.

Hello, Yesterday, I found my old photo album. In that album I saw myself way back 1987. I was only a baby. My parents are very happy having me, you can tell by looking at their smile. Sometimes its brings back memories and bring back the feeling. I'm keeping photos of my past so that I will remember those days. Our brain doesn't keep memories for a long time, they are just stored in our unconscious mind. SO whenever we saw our old photo graphs, it brings back memories, good or bad.

rock me in hi. oh I love so to go over old photographs and relive old memories. I have some of my dear grandpa that I love to look at as they were candid camera shots so that he looked like he could just stepout of the photo. also I love the photos of my children when they were little, and pictures of me as a kid with my mom. such fun and it a free trip down memory lane. I also found some snaps of me with my coworkers from the hospital in Phoenix where I worked as a young woman, St Lukes Hospital. I met my hubby while working there we were both working there. wonderful photos, great memories.
