"inside the mind of a compulsive clicker"

Do photos matter?

There might be a tendency to discuss the nature of photography as "past tense" with the onslaught of iPhones and Androids. All qualified to make an event or moment, to be enriched with smiles as they are retweeted, and posted on social media.

When I see couples out for a walk with the kids, I'm prone to remind them to take lots of pictures... as they grow up fast! (my youngest just graduated from college). Some smile and others pull their phone out and say they got it covered. I do enjoy running across photos from 15-20 years ago and retweeting to my family twitter group as the reactions are fun.

When my father in-law recently passed, my wife knew she could count on me to provide 100's of photos I had archived for years on my hard drive and stored in apps. To reflect on 94 years and accumulate the moments we shared... or were captured, was a fitting way to remember the uniqueness of his life. I am reminded of Jim Rohn seminar in 1989, as he stated, "we leave 3 things behind of extreme value."

1.)Our library... (yes, he encouraged reading books)
2.)Our journals...(yes, he encourage writing)
3.)Our photographs ( yes, he encouraged photos)

What does your library look like? I am amazed at the books my father left behind and the fact that he signed a lot of them after reading...they make great gifts to family!

Do you journal? Do you take the time to write about events, blog, or send messages? Just last week, I received a written note from an advisor thanking me for my service and effort associated with my high school. We talked later in the week and he told me every Monday morning is his write time. That tells me a lot about a man...willing to acknowledge others. Do you have time to write a note of thanks?

Photographs... obviously near and dear to my heart. I have 500,000 plus over 40 years and just the thought of categorizing them makes me nauseas...lol. I do a fairly good job of finding those of  "extreme value" when needed and enjoy the response of family and friends as we remember... people like Popi. ( www.alfonsorios.co ) YES!... Photos matter.

Harmonica? No problem as he played for any audience and enjoyed the clapping and hoots for more!

The accordion was his specialty! So many days filled with beautiful vallenatos in our home.
