Pictures? What do they mean to you?

I take pictures all the time. They are like a record of my past as well. Some make me happy, some make me sad. I don't really look through old photos any more. Most of the people from high school and college aren't even friends any more. Our lives moved in different directions and it isn't fun looking back to see the lost friendships.

I love pictures and taking photographs. I travelled far distances to take some nice photos. For me, they mean so much in a way that they help me remember and bring back the past. They represent the past happenings of my life. I am attaching here a photo which i took personally during my vacation in Italy. I love this photo so much. I took it from Rome museum exhibit.

My pictures mean the world to me. They are a record of who I was in my past and who I am today. They are memories of people who are either in my life right now, or of ones who are no longer in my life. It's nice to look back and remember the people who have passed on in my life who are still important, just they are no longer here. These pictures remind me of the memories I had shared with them & that even though they are not here anymore, that those moments with them were important enough to hold on to. Pictures I have also... Do more than just remind me of important people that have passed on. They make me think of how much I have changed from the person I used to be. I'll look at a group of pictures from my past & wonder to myself how I was back then & how much of a different person I am now compared to when those people were involved in my life. I'll also think of the stuff I went through with certain people & it also helps to remind me why they are no longer a significant part of my life. I love looking at pictures of my other half and how things used to be in the beginning and how far we've come since then. Kind of like watching the evolution of a relationship in photograph form. There's so many different lessons that can be learned by just looking at photos of my past, whether they be good or bad. It's like just looking at them reminds me that I did get through those moments and that I'm a stronger and better person for having them occur, no matter how uncomfortable they were. Of course, some of those situations you wish you could just go back and change. In conclusion, I can't wait to look back a few years from now and see how much I've evolved. I'd like to see how much the relationships I share with others in my life have grown as well.
