Turning our photos into tangible memories
1001 photos
Over the last years, our photographic habits have greatly changed. We usually have everything needed to take a photo at our disposal; just one step away from capturing a moment in time, and two steps away from sharing it on social media.
Ordinarily and almost daily for some, a pose is essential. What if we took a pause to think about these moments that we want to capture? Whether posed or spontaneous, we more than ever generate a lot of photos.
- Where are your memory photos? Hidden in your cell phone, your computer, or a digital cloud? At the bottom of a drawer? In the possession of another family member?
- Are they highlighted in a memory album, a frame or on an item?
- What are those favorite memory photos you would like to have close to you?
- And most importantly, where are those rarer, history-filled vintage photos?
1001 memories
Photos are very present in our lives. When a loved one passes away, they naturally come to mind and bring back fond memories. Suddenly, the last photos taken become precious memories. Among these, we will attribute the status of the "last photo taken" before his or her death. The photos give us a form of presence at a time when we must learn to cope with the absence of our loved one.
There are always two sides to a photo. On one side, there is what is seen with our eyes; and on the other, what is felt in our heart with all the precious memories it evokes. A photo can evoke an emotion of joy and sometimes sadness, but in any case, all emotions and memories have their own place.
A tribute in photos
During a life celebration, it is not uncommon for families to prepare a photo slideshow for the funeral. Memory photos are sure to create discussion and sometimes reveal new facets, stories, or anecdotes about the deceased.
In those difficult moments, you have probably been able to witness that a tribute in photos sometimes triggers heartfelt pinches and "aaahhh", but also reactions of surprise and spontaneous laughter. A tribute in photos can be a source of comfort and reassurance for loved ones at a time of great emotional stress.
Let's think about the moments that will follow the funeral. The carefully selected photos collected for the tribute slideshow can be immortalized on mementos. Turn these photos into precious memories to be cherished. In this way, by creating tangible memories following those surreal moments, you will allow yourself to keep those memories close to your heart and at hand when the need arises to smile at their memory.
