Let alone including yourself in the picture. I know how you look like.

Let alone including your loved ones in the picture.

Even when their disappointment of having to face away from the monument is clearly visible in the photo.

And then you make them do stuff like ‘hold the sun in your hands’ or whatever.

    Its about who is in the picture, and the memory of this day. Sure you can google a better pic of this statue, but in this one, WE WERE THERE

      Yes and sometimes the picture would be seen by multiple generations of your family. It’s preserving the moment for future generations. It’s not just about yourself and your remembrance. It’s about sharing that memory in a tangible and visible way not just in a story of words.

      Edit : My only complaint is that as the family photographer, I have the least amount of photographs with me in it. 😂
