I am grateful for…
…photos from my childhood.
The emotional value from photos never reach their full potential until years later. These photos would have meant nothing to me at the time, but now.. they’re invaluable, and an incredible reminder of the past, images that make me smile, and images that weird me out a bit.
Thank you to my father who passed away 9 years ago now that I still think about every day and love dearly for taking these photos. Photos of him (because he was always behind the camera) are so special. I want to share some of those with you too.. but that’s another day!
Thanks for letting me share these with you all.

p.s. I encourage all you digital camera owners to get out there and print some of those precious photos! Find an old shoe box and hide them away for your children one day! It worries me to think that so many precious memories will be lost because they never made it past being a digital file.
Hooray for you! Beautiful truths for all of us to think about. Thank you for sharing your special memories. I can see who your nephews look like!
I’m with Kerry. The second one made me think of Chris when he was a little younger. Maybe you should replicate the shot with each of the boys so we can all compare
you have made me think………..
i am a single mum and am always behing the camera (just ask my firends, they don’t bother bringing cameras to school asselmbly’s now, knowing i will be there to take photos of thier children) but i am in very few photos with my children (because i am always taking them).
i have captured terrific memories of them…….. but what record do they have of me?
James I just recently came across your blog and have been blown away by your talent! I will definitely be heading back here often especially when I need some inspiration
And looking back over old photos is great hey… I love looking back and remembering…
