Memorable Moments
Memorable Moments
It has been said that a picture can say a thousand words. Every time it is taken out of the box or turned into an album, a single snapshot can offer a lifetime of memories and stories to tell. In my family, photographic storytelling is so essential, that all of us own numerous cameras and have a simple point-and-shoot on us at all times. I have hundreds of photographs in my collection, but there is one beautiful shot in particular that provided me with an amazing personal experience. It teaches about true love, and represents a union that changed my life forever.
Walking down the aisle on that special day is often times, one of the most memorable moments in life. In fact, I would venture to guess that it is one of the events where the most pictures are taken. At least that was the case at this particular wedding! The photograph was taken on December 8, 2006 on the wedding day of my Aunt Maureen and Uncle Eric, shortly after saying “I Do.” My aunt is in a beautiful champagne colored wedding gown and my uncle in a tux. His left arm is intertwined with her right and you can see a glimpse of her wedding ring. It is a beautiful representation of the love that was shared throughout the entire event, in which I had the honor of being a bridesmaid for the first time. When I was younger, I had been a flower girl in a couple of weddings, including my own mother’s. This wedding marked a special milestone that only at the age of thirteen I was grouped with everyone else as a bridesmaid. I know it is an honor to be a bridesmaid in any wedding, but this was a big deal to me. I am extremely close with my Aunt Maureen – as her niece, friend, and sometimes daughter. Being asked to stand witness to such a beautiful and exciting event made me feel loved, and proud, and nothing made me happier than to say yes to these two people being married. Elegant, beautiful, amazing, and graceful don’t even begin to describe Maureen on that day, nor any other day.

    I arrived to a church crowded with friends and family. So many people had gone to St. John’s Cathedral to witness the simple, yet elegant, tradition. There were also relatives from Mexico and Puerto Rico who took the long tiring trip to attend. I was honored to see so many people there on my special day. My court of honor led the way into the church. When it was my turn to walk down the aisle, soft music was played by the organist. I felt like a princess walking in my big, beautiful ball gown. My gown was similar to a wedding dress except it was a pastel pink. When the ceremony started it was nerve racking. I was thinking about my hair and people staring at me from behind, and hoping my tiara or…

A photograph is the visual representation of a moment in time. Photography is about memories and history. History in a textbook is not necessarily the only truth. Personal histories are the truth, but universal history comes from different perceptive and we can not necessarily say one history is the only truth.…

    It is a shame we cannot just jump back to the past and relive old memories like the one in this photograph. The day this picture was taken was no special or important day. It was just a typical day at the zoo with my family, yet I find myself overwhelmed that even a simple day such as this one makes you who you are now. Every day you live and every picture you take shape you into the person you will eventually become in the future.…

    Hi, I’m Emily Astle; I’m the bride's older sister and maid of honor. I’m so proud of my sister for finding the right man for her. I knew right away he was perfect for her; it was amazing seeing her face light up whenever she talked about Shawn. As you might know, my sister never shies away from love. It reminds me of our snuggle times. Even though I didn't always want her affection, I'm glad she ignored my requests. It would have prevented our deep talks in the hammock during snuggle time; those talks helped me get to know my sister better. Some of my favorite memories are with my sister, from hanging upside down in the hammock to swing dancing together. She taught me and others the virtue of unconditional…

    The story behind the picture is as interesting to me as the young woman it captures.Mom, who was earning twenty-five dollars a week as a file clerk, decided to give her boy friend(my father) a picture of her self. She spent almost two weeks' salary on the skirt and blouse, which she bought at a fancy department store downtown. She borrowed the earrings and bracelet from her older sister my aunt Liza. Mom spent another chunk of her salary to pay the portrait photographer for the hand tinted print in old fashioned tones tones of brown and an.Just before giving the picture to my Father,she scrawled at the lower left,"sincerely,Beatrice."

    "I have something to tell you..." There was a pause, her tone was worrying. "It's your grandfather, he's passed away." I was stunned: the grandfather who had always been there for me was no longer there. I could feel someone grinding their fist through my stomach; the pain was unbearable. For the first time ever I was lost for words. Tears started to form in my eyes. I could not contain my emotion. All my memories of my grandfather seemed to rush through my head as I sat in my room isolated from the rest of the world.…

    A cross between green and blue waters contrast each other as the white waves crash on the shore, but in the background there is a large piece of metal sticking out of the deep ocean. A roller coaster that had once brought people bliss and laughter is now in the ocean with the ominous feeling of the gloomy clouds surrounding every corner of the photograph. Photography is a basis of knowledge to shed light upon what we know today. We are surrounded by it in our daily lives, but do we really see everything that lies behind a photograph? Photos capture memories and remind us of good times in our lives. However, today, society has turned photography from a tool to capture a memory into a device that is used by anyone who has an expensive camera or even a smartphone. We have altered an art form that showcases the talents of…
