Photos becomes important memories

I know what you mean. We wanted a nice pix for mom's obit and finally found one, but we will sure miss her with these upcoming holidays.

I understand how it feels, and you are right. Actually since then that I lost a friend I started to find photos of her and keep it on my files. I even printed it. I do not feel any goosebumps looking at her as she is the most beautiful girl i had ever seen. She is so much treasured by the people who love her. For this reason, it is important to save pictures as it is the only memory that lives when one passed on this earth. How sad it is.

Yes, because pictures are worth a thousand words. You can tell so many stories with a picture. When I get my picture with Stan Lee, that will be a story that I will tell my children for generations to come. (By the way, I have met Stan Lee several times, but have yet to get a picture with him, but I will one of these days).

Yeah, I know what you mean. I take so many pictures and people always tell me that I take too many. I never thought so. I enjoy seeing the different pictures that I have. And nowadays people just have pictures on their phones or on their computers. So I've been taking my memory card to Walmart and getting my pictures developed because a hard copy of the photos always seem more special. I like to make little scrap books. And I'm starting one of my daughter as she is growing up.

i see in another view... i do agree that photos become a great things and can memorize many things... photos can speak many things

I believe you - we have to treasure the memories while we can. Digital days had made the picture-taking so easy that I have to admit my family have been addicted to until such time that we got tired of taking pictures and just leave the camera in its case somewhere and forgot to take pictures on some occasions. Well, we live only once. So we might as well take the most out of it. You'll never know when's the last time you'll see each other so cherish the moment and take as much pictures while you can!

That is so true..our family always gathers for the holidays too, we were just together on Thanksgiving, and of course the cameras were flashing all over the place. We took a group photo of everyone that was there, and as I look at it, I do notice all the family members that were missing, the ones who are no longer with us, they are truly missed. Yes, we need to cherish those memories that we have, and to also make new memories, as we do every year.

i take photos when ever i can and feel up to it.. im a very visual person and sometimes my memory is really bad so its a way of knowing i wont forget that moment because ill remember it when i see the picture later

I have several boxes full of alot of albums. Pictures of my grandparents, mom and dad and my kids. That includes my grand and great grandkids. Alot of fun pictures that I hope to hand down to my grandkids when the time comes. I always people who have just had kids to take plenty of pictures, that kids grow fast.

You're so wise in saying that. I have unfortunately been experiencing less people on holidays for the last four years. Recently, there have been about one a year and this year two. We have always taken lots of pictures, and we have also taken a few videos. I think that way also about my new grandson who will be 10 months this weekend. It doesn't seem possible that he's trying to talk and walk and has teeth now. I told my daughter this morning that it's like I'm trying to soak in every second with him, because he's changing and growing so fast. I have a digital camera and video camera that I keep very close, and I take pictures and videos of him constantly for that reason.

Hi Iwrite!. Its so sweet if you still miss your Grandma. Sometimes I miss my grandma too, she pass way when I was in 5 grade at elementary school. My dads was really sad because he loves her mom dearly and thats the first time I see my dad crying. My grandma is really a loving person he will hugs us really close when me met and she made you know how she love you very much. We don't have many picture of her but we had several thats remain us of her including her painting in our house.

Sorry to hear that your grandma has passed. This is something I have thought about immediately after the birth of my kids and I do not wait until holidays to take pictures. I carry a camera in my purse daily and I am one who owns more photo albums than I think more than the normal. As one day after I am gone I have literally assigned all my pics to my daughter as I know she will treasure more than anyone I know. Although my son is loving and caring, somehow I feel my daughter will continue my ritual of treasuring every blessed moment as I did.

Yeah you are absolutely correct , photos really hold up good memories that can give us very good feelings

Photos are forever. That's the reason why I love taking photos especially on occasions. Fun, happy and sad memories would not look more vivid if there were no photos. It is a treasure that we will keep forever. And when you go back, look at it again, its like you are walking in memory lane and you will just realize how beautiful life is.

Sorry to hear about your Grandma. I have always been one to carry my camera wherever I go, ready to capture that special moment! By capturing a special place or person on camera, a memory is made, and one that will last forever. Yes, a photograph is a valuable commodity, a treasure to keep, and history in the making.

I agree with you. Nowadays, it may seem old fashioned, but I still put photos in albums!I also put a lot on disk and in the computer. There are so many ways to keep memories.

I totally agree w/u. The pictures i have of my grandparents are treasures. Happy weekend to u.

I agree, with the advent of digital photography, we have more photos now than we used to. Still, we tend to take those photos for granted. They are really treasures that will prove to be more valuable as time goes on and we grow old or witness the passing of beloved friends and family members.

True enough, we do take tomorrow for granted and our loved ones too. I too have lost loved ones and lived thru holidays without people I loved and wished I'd paid more attention. You are right. Treat all with the fact they or you may not be here for the next holiday. But, remember too, with thoughts of tomorrows, there is hope.

It is true iWrite. I am taking photos from my teen age, with a black and white film i started taking photos. Now i am having few thousands of them. Most of which i have recently digitalised. and kept in a DVD. It also tells us how we were, what were the fashion we maintained that time etc. its a nice habit and thanks for starting this thread.
