What is a picture worth?

“A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.”  

Ansel Adam

I am still haunted by Wednesday’s posts on The World Memory Project and it made me ponder what our photos really mean to us? They are much more than simply pictures but rather a glimpse into who we are. Treasure your moments, your photos and your weekend!

A picture worth more than a thousand words

As I sit here writing this I am surrounded by family pictures on my desk, some very old and some new. We all have these images to remind us if those we love and those we have lost. Sadly, not everyone has these images.

The World Memory Project is building the largest free online resource of information about victims and survivors of Nazi persecution—to restore the identities of people the Nazis tried to erase from history and enable families to discover the fates of missing loved ones. The project allows anyone, anywhere to type information from historical records into databases that are being made searchable online for free.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…..but perhaps its worth a little bit more.
