Old photos

I am helping my friend move in to her new apartment and come across her pictures. Some are old, from before I knew her and some are just from this summer. I am always amazed by the stories that pictures tell; high school dances, pets that are left behind at home, friends who have parted ways to follow their own path. There us always a big mix of emotions in photos. I have a picture of my grandmother in her teens laying on a dock in a swim suit taken by an old boyfriend. Having never known my grandmother at such a young age it is almost shocking to realize that she had a life before marriage, children and grandchildren. Photos let us learn about and remember things that have passed. This has always intrigued me and drawn me to document my own life.
