What is the first thing we reach towards when we want to bring back a record for a place, a situation, a state of being? What is the first thing we reach towards when we need to look into the past, the history, the memory of our life? What is the first thing we reach towards after we loose a person dear to us?
Photographs.
Use that smart phone in your pocket not only to screenshot information from the web or note something down. Create more meaningful photographs of yourself, your loved ones, the life you live. Yes, you do look good with messy hair and no make-up on, and no, the body weight is not a reason to deny your existence.
Take more meaningful photographs like we used to back in the days, before photography became the new pen and paper/sticky note/scrapbook pocket diary.
Take more meaningful photographs. Make a small summer album. Remember this time, it will never repeat again (for good or not).
If you only had 36 frames for your summer vacay, what would you use them on?
