Everyone knows the saying that a picture can paint a thousand words, which I’d like to believe, because some times you can’t explain something with words, especially the written word, and just showing a photo can make it all so much clearer, even trying to give directions, or show how something works can be done a hundred times easier by drawing a silly little diagram. But that’s not what I’m talking about here anyway.
Yesterday I got in the mail a package from Mitsubishi, a welcome / thank you package of sorts from buying my new car. The box came full of stuff, Key ring, badge, discount cards, road side assistance details, holiday guides, 4WD Tips and Tricks, Cleaning cloths and even a Photo-frame, because that photo frame is what kind of sparked this blog post. It’s just a normal old photo frame, made out of aluminium which lightly in white has Mitsubishi printed on the bottom corner and something about the 2012 Olympics which they are sponsoring.
The photo frame now sits on the corner of my desk and has a picture of me, Caroline and Kyle from a random trip where we found a bunch of ball sculpture pieces on a river bank some where that I can’t remember the name of. I’ve had this photo printed out for ages and stuck up on my wall with all my other photos, (Reminder: I need more ink)
Why am I rambling on about photos and old memories? Because when I look at the photo of us standing around this ball, I remember some of the stupid, immature conversations we had as we approached them, after having driven past and seen these balls which made us pull over, get out of the car and run to see what they were.
Not only that, but I’ve been watching How I Met Your Mother recently, I’m half way through the third season, and their starting sequence consists of photos of the main cast at their local pub, and they are the kind of photo that to anyone else it’s just a photo in a pub of a good time, but to the people involved they can look at the photo and remember conversations that were had, the laughs that ensued and when they could be having a bad day, it just might make them smile.
Do you have any photos that make you smile? Comment below! Here are some of my favourite photos for when I’m feeling down.
Awww I like 8 and 15 from your set!
Aside from that. Theres a picture of Misha Collins with his tongue in the shape of a flower. ALWAYS makes me smile (perverted I know but whateva) and a picture of a Sunset in Mexico from google.
Grrr! Now I feel like pulling out my comp and looking at all my old pictures. When we doing our next shoot?
