“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” ― Aaron Siskind

It's been a while since I last saw these photo albums and looking to the old photographs brings a nostalgic feeling, a sense of happiness, excitement and such unexplainable feelings.  While flipping through them all, reminiscing about old times, and contemplating the history it tells, that beyond these personal memories, it somehow made us realize what kind of world we have now and what kind of person we are today. There have been a lot of changes, the people and the society itself. It shows us how impermanent things are; how social conditions transform; and how our values, principles, and beliefs remain constant or not. But after all these realizations, nothing will compare to see how the good memories, those happy and even sad moments of our lives are being kept and treasured through these photographs. That we are able to look at them whenever we wanted to.  I'm thankful that someone had photographed those moments and I have something to look back on my life.

Life goes by so fast, and look how those printed photographs turned into digital ones. Take a moment to look back through those old photo albums of yours and see what it might bring to you.
