Was clearing my hard disk space etc today and looked through old photos, had a walk down memory lane. Amazing how photos capture vividly a particular moment, caption a particular unique event..how a photo can enable our mind to recollect something we've long forgotten but the very memory gets intrigued at the very sight of the photo..
A friend (wah quote u! partially) was telling me how memories are likened to one's shadow. Such that, the memories are always there accompanying us, somewhere kept in our memory banks...but they are usually too insignificant for us to notice their presence; just like our shadow always is casted on walls and the ground, but we conveniently take no notice of them on most days.
Well, take a photo and it will last longer. Sometimes we really do need visual reminders to stimulate recollection and relive these memories, good or bad. In the last 3 years, I have at least 20-25k of photos in my albums. HAHA terrible, maybe one day I should aim to print out in hard copy some of the nicer ones. (I've been saying these ever since we bought the first set of digicam 938632 years ago. Maybe film camera is better huh, it forces us to develop every photo taken).
