Pictures

Pictures tell the stories of families and friends, triumphs and failures, past, present and future. As I was looking through pictures for this project I found that every picture has a story behind it. We may never know that story but it is there just the same. I think the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” is very true. I found pictures by typing in words like love, family, friends and I came up with countless pictures but very few of them were right for me because they did not tell MY story the told some one else’s story. So I to make a choice about the picture I chose. I decided that my pictures had to be of something not some one. Meaning I chose pictures that were of things like a heart that says my auntie loves me. That tells nothing about me but it does explain how I feel towards my family.
I also used pictures that I took of my family. There is a good memory for every one I chose. There is one of my two oldest nephews wrestling and the memory in that one is how well they got along even though they had just met. I can remember when every one of those pictures was taken and the memories are all good. I try to capture personality when I take a picture and my family rises to the occasion again and again. There is never a dull moment with them and for this I am thankful.
