TOPIC FOR TODAY : PHOTOGRAPH/PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is a means to capture a moment in time of a person, place, or thing. By taking a photograph, you immortalize the subject. Every photograph that is kept is important to the person who took it. If a photo is taken and it isn’t important, it isn’t kept. Photos can be triggers, for people, places, and things that are no longer in your world. They are also time machines, as when you look at the images, you are transported to that time and place where it was taken.

Thank you, Max. I think I took that shortly after moving into this house. When I deleted my facebook account, I made sure to get a file of all of the pics I’d shared on there over the years. It’s quite a collection.
