The Bigger Picture....

Say Cheese!! Click!!

Kodak moments are so special no matter what the outcome of the picture. Never mind the memories and what the picture means, the point is just to capture the moment as it happens and thats it. Right? Wrong!! The whole purpose of a picture is to keep hold of the memory of that particular time. Without a physical memory of the past what would we have to look back on and be thankful for from where we came from. every picture is not perfect either, some well alot of pictures have flaws but the point of the flaw is to be recognized and improved.

Its always a good feeling to stumble across pictures of when i was younger and look at them as success stories. There doesnt always have to be a problem to lead to a solution for you to have a success story. Just the fact that i am able to stumble across pictures of myself in the third grade getting a moving up diploma or pictures of getting ready for 8th grade prom or even pictures of the first day of high school, it proves that im on my way somewhere. My dad always takes pictures. He even took pictures of me walking out of my dorm hall in COLLEGE when he came to surprise me for breakfast. you would think like i thought "come on are you serious" "im 18 years old this isn't stepping stones in kindergarden". But when i think about it although it was just the other day that this happen, ive made it to today. and if i go back and look at that picture now, a few days later, i can go back and look at the picture 3 years later and say wow that was me then but look at me now!!

Next time you take a picture think about not only getting the perfect shot but also capturing the perfect memory and make sure you appreciate the times that you digitally document. And remember the small physical picture is a great souvenir  but the significance it holds is THE BIGGER PICTURE!!
