As an aspiring photographer, I have
realized how important photographs are throughout my time taking pictures. In
this course, I have used many pictures from my past and present. In Lambert’s text,
he says “Our easiest direction to anyone thinking about making a digital story
is to look around his or her house and find images that provoke memories and
stories that are meaningful” (Lambert 2013). I found this especially relatable,
because this is exactly what I did with my Memories story, and my first Selfie
story. I have a huge box full of old pictures and school stuff, so I had to dig
through it a couple of times to find the photographs I wanted to use.
While I was doing so, it got me
thinking about how important pictures truly are. We all should have boxes full
of happy memories like that. It made me miss the past, but it also gave me a
new look at the future and how I should continue to collect pictures from
moments in my life. Although, pictures these days are a bit different than
pictures from the 90’s and early 2000’s when I was growing up. Everything is
digitalized these days, which is a bit unfortunate in some circumstances. It
makes me think that someday if I get married, and have kids, that I should make
memory boxes like the ones I have of old pictures and other things.
