People love stories. Every
successful speaker keeps you on the edge of your seat as they tell
their story. You are connected, engaged, you can relate to what they
are saying. While telling their story they are slipping in nuggets of
information and you find yourself taking notes and excitement fills
the room. There is laughter, sometimes tears, but you are present the
whole time.
Telling stories with your photos can evoke the same set of emotions.
Take this photo for example. This is photo of my dad singing to his granddaughter about 1 year before he passed.
At the time, we did not know how ill he was and that we would only have a short time with him. Luckily, not only do we have a photo, my sister also took a video of this precious family memory.
My challenge to all of you:

My challenge to all of you:
- Locate a shoebox of photos (I know you have them) and pull out a half dozen or so photos.
- Look at the details: objects in the background, hairstyles, fashion, expressions
- Write down what you feel – just a couple sentences about the photo. There is no right or wrong…it is your story about your photo.
- Share with family or friends – you will be pleasantly surprised at how many people will enjoy your unique perspective on your photos.
