I was going thru some boxes in the studio today and re-discovered one of my favorite images of my son Stephen. He was about 2 years old, curly strawberry blonde hair, dressed in little denim overalls and standing next to a vintage rocking horse.
I sat on the floor, holding that picture...just remembering...baby laughs, cuddles, kindergarten...and so happy that I'd had a print made from that long-ago created negative.
So here's a question for you: where are YOUR favorite images? in your camera? your phone? your computer? where will your memories be if you lose your electronic gadgets? As much as I love the convenience of being able to swipe and pinch a happy snap on my iPhone, nothing beats having an actual photograph that I can see--on my desk, my bookcase--wherever I choose to place it.
The calendar has rolled to February--a short month...tell those you love how much you mean it...and consider scheduling a photography session for your little love sponges...those prints will become more precious as the years go by!
