My reasons for taking pictures of my loved ones are solely for the purpose of keeping their photos as part of my collection and as a reminder of happy times spend with each others. I can see the different emotions as reflected on the impression on everyone face who collaborate to join me in achieving the perfect and imperfect shoots that are taken by my own hands. I'll appreciate every angles as reflected on the kind of background which resulted in magnificient outcome. Here ,the viewers of my photos would either appreciate or despise it. Is the backgrounds of the pictures matter most to you or the faces of your loved ones?

well we all take pictures as a reminder of the good times we had with our loved ones but i like to take pictures to remind myself of all the good things that have happened to me in my life when im feeling down or sad or worthless or something then i take a look in it and feel better automatically.

I do it too and I love to take photos every now and then. My only problem I am the one who have less photos as I am assign as the official photographer of the family. Well, sometimes some member replace me and invite me to poise with them. Anyway, photos is a great reminder for all us to gives importance to record how our lives have been going on during those past years and the years to come. I also make copies of my photos by making a slideshow through DVD's and VCD's. Also, I make a back up copies in case my photos get wet, lost, eat by mouse and also put it in internet like in my friendster account, facebook and in my heritage account.

We take pictures of loved ones so we can remember them when we are not near them and to keep happy memories alive and to pass on those memories to future generations.

thts the right attitude to maintain and hopefully the younger generation will also do the same thing. Pictures are not only a things that everybody need to keep for the reason that it's became an instruments where we can compare each faces as the years goes by. The reasons for keeping pictures, because of it's sentimental values it's gives on us.

that's probably the majority of all reasons for taking pictures of our loved ones. To store memories of our loved ones and when todays grandchildren can remember and pay respects to their ancestors. It's also a reminder of happy moments being shared with the family or else with someone else.
