Photography Changes Family History

On my last post, I gave you a website to check out. . .. I am finding the website is amazing. I found a wonderful story entitled "Photography Changes Family History". 
Below is the link:

The author of this article, Maureen Taylor, said something so poetic about photography in families, "The full story of a person’s life is often portrayed in a pictorial timeline from birth through death in baby pictures, school portraits, occupational images, wedding poses, and even postmortem images, but they are all icons for a deeper story. In our minds, family photographs become synonymous with a specific point in that person’s life and visually frozen in time in our memories. Yet by discerning the clues in each one, our family pictures not only inform and remind us of the past but also let us see reflections of ourselves, today, in the mirror of our family history."

With that being said, I am posting a picture of my youngest daughter, Lexi, on a spontaneous day of shopping.

"Photography Changes Everything"

Can you imagine a world without photos? Think of the moments in our lives that would get lost if not captured in the frame of camera! Do you ever find yourself reminiscing about your childhood only to come to the realization that your mind no longer has "visual memories" except for those images captured on a photo and if not for that photo, would that memory be "blurry", lacking the detail to make the moment vibrant, or worse yet, would that memory be completely lost? Photography is a powerful medium that changes everything!

Let the blogging begin. . .

It's a Monday. . . .so to make my Monday interesting I decided to start my Media, Culture, and Society project of creating a blog. I am new to this so find myself fumbling around, exploring each tab to find out what is contained within it .. . it's been fun.
