Good morning friends.
One thing you may not know about me, is that I am a very sentimental person.
I found out when I went through some really old photos of my brothers and my childhood.
Just little thing like "How did the living room back then looked like?" or "Mum, is that you oh my god, you have changed." or "Oh my god, the guinea pigs!" or "What am I wearing, it is so tiny." completely blew my mind and I could not stop looking and wondering.
Then I thought: "Well, what is about now? What if in a few years, when I am 25, I want to look back on my teenage years and I just won't have any footage of it."
Of course my parents kind of lost interest in photographing everything, since neither me nor my brothers change as much as we did back when we were 3 or 4.
So I figured the one best thing to do is to take photos. Many, many photos. On order to remember my task I always have my camera within reach. When I am going on a walk or meet someone, I surely have it somewhere in my bag. In my room it is laying right in the center so I can grab it quickly and don't have to look for it for too long.
There is just something about taking a photo with a proper camera I don't feel while snapping a photo with my phone.
In April I started capturing the first signs of spring.
When I had a friend around I took pictures of her and how I rearranged my room to make it cozier.
I also really enjoyed taking photos of the sky. Clouds are so temporary and they sometimes just look too beautiful not to capture and remember them.
Sometimes there was just a beautiful contrast of sun and shadow that instantly made me grab my camera and capture it.
So as you can tell, these pictures are really random and don't have a theme or took too much effort. But I love looking back on these little moments.
Memories from your everyday life are so valueable and in a few years or even month you'll be extremely happy you made that little photograph. It is a lot quicker than writing a diary every evening, but can already tell you just as much about your day.
