An old photograph for me signifies a memory be it good or bad. It's a good way for me to reminisce about the old times. I'd flip through our old photo albums with my family and we'd make comments about what we remember when the picture was taken. There are the good memories as well as the bad and sad memories. But they are all important nonetheless. I think it's a good way for my family to bond with each other. We have albums upon albums of photographs since my dad loves capturing things and events on film.

Indeed I am. My dad used to also make slide show videos of all these photos too. And it took a lot of time and dedication because back then you didn't have digital cameras or computers that did it for you.

Not many photos in the past that I have, I only have a few photos. I have one photograph, which is very meaningful to me. That is my mother's photo. I always take care of my mother's photograph well. The photographs, one of my ways, in memory of my mother.

Photos captures moment. Moment is reserved in forms of photos. Old photos has great value. Old photo album makes us nostalgic. When we open up any album we feel that we are return to that moment when it was snap. Old photos are valuable property for any one.

you are right about it. Photo is just a memory that we can reminisce sometime. but the important is we still have to look the future so we can go on our life. and believe that there will be another amazing moment

An old photograph is a reminder of what transpired a long time ago. It is usally for me a time to silently laugh by myself remembering the happy moment that the picture was taken. As they say memories are hard to forget and with the help of pictures they are harder to forget.

Hi! You know what, we have the same feeling. I enjoy reminiscing those days in the photo, but I feel sad also because I miss those days especially when one of the people in the photo is far from me. How I wish that I could pull time back! But we just can't. Of course I keep photos. They are treasures for me.

yeah photos have great meaning for me ,we keep ur memories in photos and in that way memories will always live,so when we get old we could always look at our photo albums and remember our long ago passed childhood,the photos are like our memories, but we could maybe forget our memories but becauase of that there are photos to make as never remember our best life moments....

Hello vucina, your statement is true and i agree with you. those photo remind us for the moments that we had pass. and when we see the photo again, we feel like we are back in the moment and once again feel the past time. maybe that is why sometimes we get sad, remember the past time and we can't go back again

When one sees a picture, what exactly is he looking at? Only a picture or story in the picture? Or a specific message from the symbol image? Or certain memories? Basically, a photograph is an expression of media to communicate a photographer to the photo viewer. A photo (Wedding Photography) is the expression language of images / visual person. If we direct the camera to a particular object, in the mind of the photographer will show a desire to show the picture to "someone". Someone here could himself as a connoisseur, or the public at large. Keingian tell sometimes a person needs. So that's when the photo (Photography Jakarta) became a tool for communicating, as a medium for storytelling. To be able to express through photos, then the grammar that is used must be appropriate and in accordance with the context. Grammar in the visual language of photography involves the application of technique, composition and lighting, as well as aesthetics. The correct application would lead an observer to understand and understand the meaning of the phrase photographer (Album Photography Jakarta). Many kinds of information may be disclosed photographer to the audience, so it appears the terms and categories in photography refers to the object of shooting, such as: landscape photos, photos of children, photographs of models, photographs still life (natural objects), product photos, photos of architecture, and so forth. In addition, the term also appears in photography (Photography Jakarta) who ask the purpose of shooting, for example: commercial photos, photo art, photo documentation, photo journalism, photo salons, etc. (Wedding Photography Jakarta). However simple a goal shooting, then that should be considered is the operation of the camera skills. Mastering the camera is a skill required. Each camera has its own characteristics, therefore we have the camera must be understood how it works. Another basic skill is the lighting. Although photography (Photography Album Jakarta) requires light, but not just any light that can form the image. There are a lot of light regulation, which underlie the making of pictures (Wedding Photography). Whether it's about the direction of light, and light quality. There is lighting from the front, side, or from behind objects. There is also a soft light, to photograph the women and children, and the light that hard to photograph him. Finally, photographs are not only beautiful, but there must also be implicit message in it. There's something to be conveyed. Lovers were expected to capture the message, and contemplating the meaning contained.

great explanation, are you come from Communication faculty? when we stare at the photo, it is that we are not only staring the picture it self, but the message behind it. the memories that running down through our mind. maybe that is why a photo could means anything while for other means nothing
