memories that transcend time
Toronto. If you (god forbid) are ever in a fire or other disaster that destroys your home, what would you save? Jewellery? Clothes? Possessions? Family photos?
An article on BBC News by Celia Hatton called ‘The memory hunters‘ relates what is truly priceless and what can be replaced in time. It is satisfying to see the role photography plays in such catastrophic events. Photographs give priceless memories of family members from years past. They may be of little value to strangers but are irreplaceable to family.
Read this article and learn what can be considered priceless. Photography – what would we do with out it? Family photos grow in value over time as people ‘shed their mortal coils’ and become our ancestors. Examples of rare old processes are coveted by collectors but the content truly enhances family members who appreciate seeing how ancestors or even themselves looked in days long gone.
