Memories are reinforced by photographs. Without photographs, we may never remember everything that happened to us. However, people often focus on how they appear in the photographs and forget that there are other things that are worthy of being captured.
Taking photographs not of ourselves, but of details, surroundings and other faces, is a good way to broaden our perspective of life. As we train our eyes to look for beauty in everything beyond our image, we begin to appreciate the time and place that we live in.
We do not need to have special talent to create happy memories for ourselves though photographs. We only need to truly open our eyes and engage in new experiences and places that will help us grow our photo album. This may be as simple as going to a new cafe with friends or taking a stroll in a park that you have never visited. In the company of a simple camera, we also learn to spend time alone and appreciate our unique perspective of this world.
