A picture’s worth a thousand words…
by emmyHow many people out there have digital camera’s?…a great invention in my opinion as a way to capture a moment perfectly with no red eyes or movement lines…a way to perfectly capture a memory which you can relive again and again…
Today i was devastated to find all of the photos in my camera had been deleted! I lent it to a certain person (who shall not be named for reasons of his own safety) and got it returned to me with all of my 527 pictures wiped, all of my memories erased just like that. Now I’m not here to say that you should not lend your camera out, this i lent to a person whom I would have trusted with my life (better re-think that), but to take care of your photos as these are precious moments you will never get back.
Personally I am one of those people who would dive out the next window rather than let anyone take a photo of me…my mother’s album consists of baby pictures and ones of a fuzzy shadow running away from the lens. However now I am begginning to regret taking a picture simply for the moment nothing else, even the ones with bad hair, no teeth and embarrassing clothing.
The best photo’s are the spontaneous ones,you known the ones where you look like a hyena laughing but these are of true memories..you cant look at a photo of you and your friend posing in front of the camera look back and say “remember the time we took that photo”…not something to be nostalgic about if you ask me.
So my message is to take more photo’s of the things and people special to you, take care of these paper memories…we cant predict what the future holds but we can surely have a way to laugh at the good times in our past…
I agree with you all memories are precious but probably the most precious are the private memories in your mind
I agree with delores not a truer word spoken forget digital images all ya need is what is in your mind because you can change them and they can be as wonderful as you imagined without actually looking at them and saying jaysus tht was bad where as in your mind its ah that was good
I hope you got lots of sweet revenge for whoever done that to you. Go back to the old cameras I say where the flash went on the top of the camera and when you took a picure it blinded everyone in the room leaving them to see big blue spots for days. This has given you the chance to appreciate specific times in your life and re-look at what you used to run away from. So maybe its a thank you not a f**k you to whoever wiped your photos
