Here in Australia, you will have heard the expression that ‘a picture can say 1000 words’ and it is an expression that is well known around the whole world as well. We do have modern devices like smartphones that we use to take photographs on a very daily basis but how many of these pictures do we truly value? We take pictures of inane things like what we had for breakfast, the coffee that we just bought or a photograph of ourselves shopping for clothes and other things.
This has somewhat diminished the importance of a photograph and many years ago when you had to buy film for your camera, you were a lot more careful with regard to the pictures that you took. You really did try to capture some of the best moments so that you could put them in picture frames and then look back at them many years from now to remind you of how good your life was. The following are some of the reasons why a framed picture can say 1000 words here in Australia.
- It captures the best moments – It is possible to create many fond memories in this life so that we can reflect on them many years from now and really understand how important they really were. We are always taking photographs with our various devices and putting them on social media in the hope that we will get a ‘like’ or some other recognition. You want your captured pictures to be able to tell a story and to remind you of a certain experience.
- It allows us to remember – The unfortunate thing about life is that it does come to an end at some point or another and many of us in Australia have lost important members of our families over the years. This is why it is so important to take photographs of the ones that you love and then to capture the image in a frame for posterity. When you miss your loved ones, you always have your pictures to look back on and to reminisce.
- We capture important milestones – There are many events in our lives that we would like to look back on with a smile and the birth of your first child, the day that you graduated from university, the day that you were married and so many others need to be captured because these are important milestones in this life. It is also a great way to show others who were not there at the time what actually occurred and it gives them a feel of what happened.
There is no point just keeping pictures inside your smartphone if you are never going to look at them again and if you have a genuine fear of losing your phone or it getting stolen, stop dragging your heels and start putting your best photographs into a quality picture frame. Memories are to be captured and cherished forever.
