Photographs why do people want them?

TheCatWoman

Honestly photographs freak me out, not just ones of me, but ones of others too, I often don't recognise myself or others in photographs and I'm not really into photo's of things either. I know most people are ok with them and make photography a hobby, but even the idea of taking a photograph let alone having one taken of me puts me in a state of near panic and I don't know why? I don't really understand what people get out of photographs.

  • For me photographs are memories. When my Dad died I kept a box of family photos. Sometimes I like to look through them to remember happy things I had forgotten about. I have a really bad memory so this is helpful. As my only remaining family are those I live with now, I have no one left to remind me of my past.

    I also have sets of holidays I enjoyed. Again this is a good thing to remind me of as I no longer go away 

    I also like to take a few pictures each year of my garden. My first pictures were at the beginning of the pandemic, of the garden as it was when we moved in the previous autumn. I re used pots that had been left and planted a few seeds. The sunflowers in particular helped to brighten a difficult time. Since then I have made small changes each year, including last year putting in a bed in the middle of the lawn, which is the sunniest part for annuals. It is rewarding to see the changes I have made and the increase in colour.
