Pictures of family
I’ve been thinking of the value of photography as an important family record. Having grown up with pictures of myself and sister, as well as the wider family all around, it’s clear that these memories are informed by those framed photos and dusty albums in the shelf next to the TV. I’ve started to try and get better at printing these out and keeping my own records of things that take place in my life – I’m a bit behind at the moment but hoping to catch up.
At a recent family funeral my mum brought along a bunch of photos which reminded me of how important these physical objects are to me. I’m pictured in one but had not seen the other and was really moved by both of them. Take pictures, print them, own them, cherish them and hand them on – they record such amazing moments in life.
