As we watched the movie "Up" last night for the third time, I was reminded of the importance of photography. If you've never seen it, Up is another in a series of Disney/Pixar movies that manages to entertain kids while subtly giving parents a message with a nod and a wink. Without giving too much away Carl Fredricksen, one of the main characters, spends much of his life searching for adventure but eventually comes to the realization that life is an adventure through the help of an old scrap book.
Photographs are a glimpse of what makes life special. The things we remember, and how we remember them. The little things, and the big events. They show us the way we are, and will eventually become the way we were.
So take lots of them, I don't want to miss a thing.
