How many times have we chosen to be the person behind the camera because there is something about ourselves we don’t like in pictures? Maybe we need to shed some weight, or the light of the camera always makes our face look discolored. There are tons of excuses associated with hiding from the camera lens, but I am here to challenge them all.
Each year for the last three years, I have lost a grandparent. With every funeral, the hunt for pictures takes place. “Do we have a picture with the entire family?” “Does anyone have a picture of the two of them dressed in so and so?” “Don’t you remember that time we all went to such and such? Did anyone take pictures?”
