PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES

When I was young picture taking was not as easy as it is now. It took planning, effort, and taking the time away from the event or happening that you were wanting to put into posterity. We had to buy special film, right speed, and then develop them. So only the truly gifted people with wonderful foresight did what was necessary to make future trips down memory lane possible.

I see people today taking pictures of everything, at all times, and of whatever tickles their fancy. All they have to do is plug their camera to the computer and wow there they are. Print them just as easily.

I regret not having all the pictures that I want and not being able to look at my family at all stages of their lives.

In closing I want to strongly demand that you take control of your picture taking and take them of everything. So when you get to be my age and you have a melancholy moment, you can go to your computer and see all the beauty of the past. And the past will become important, I PROMISE.

Love,
