A photograph is a captured moment of the past that we can relive over and over again. Through a photo, we learn the history not only of our family, but also of an entire country or people. Photographs store not only faces, but also emotions, smells, places that maybe don’t exist anymore. Photo albums themselves are storages of memories that help us understand who we are and what our ancestors were like.
