‘A photograph is a return ticket, to a moment otherwise gone’
-Katie Thurmes
We all know that this last year has certainly presented us with some of the most unprecedented moments we have all ever experienced. For so many, and right across the world-this last 12 months has meant challenges like never before. However, despite the huge and difficult trials of 2020, what it has brought to the forefront, is what is truly important in our lives.
It’s no longer just living that 9-5 life (or 8-6 more like it!), cramming our schedules with everything and anything, in a futile attempt to ‘keep-up’ with the hectic daily life we once all took and accepted as very much the norm.
What the challenges of 2020 have truly taught us, is that the only thing that really matters, is family. The love of others and of ourselves. Friendships and connection. Therefore, these are the only lasting things, and making certain memories in uncertain times.
The power of a photograph
Photographs help us to properly embrace and capture the meaning of these truly important life pillars. To cherish them in the way they should be cherished. A family photograph has the power to draw moments and memories from days gone by for instance. Memories of people loved and lost. During the difficult or challenging times, a photograph can extract emotion and even transport you to a different time or place.
‘Photographs play an important role in everyone’s life. They connect us to our past, because they remind us of people, places, feelings, and stories. They can help us to know who we are. Photographs are a tangible link to the past.’
