Who would have ever guessed that way back in 1977 a Kodak moment could be seen the way it is today. The idea of a picture (usually reserved for a worn out photo album in the bottom of an old chester drawer in the guest room or attic) having such distinctive meaning was as likely as Elvis still being alive.
These pictures I scanned in to keep them as safe and accessible as the ones I take from our digital camera. Other than a little color quality, you can hardly tell a difference.
Lot's of people ask me why I spend time posting to this blog. I have not always had a firm answer of why I do, but there has been a constant attraction to keep it fresh. Now, after seeing these pics and being captivated by the emotion they can produce, I know exactly why.
I want to be able to share the blessings, warn of danger, comfort, and ultimately maintain / grow bonds with family and friends where distance or history has been a challenge.
So, when I post pictures of family, crabs, golf greens, cars, rain, snow, etc - just know that in 30 more years every single one will be as vivid as event itself. It will remind us of the silly things we did or loved to do. It will serve as evidence that all the wonderful things you heard growing up did happen and hopefully will help you forget the less wonderful ones. (have you ever noticed that even when you look at a picture of somebody, and they were not smiling, you will are?) Whether your 4 or 104 - enjoy.
