I take like 1000 a day. I can’t delete them. I’m pretty much out of space on my phone. I have pictures of every exciting and mundane moment for almost every day. Every single time I get the notification that I need to clear space on my phone for memory, I go through my photos looking to see what I can delete. Without fail, I end up not deleting a single photo. I can’t. I hoard photos because I want to remember everything. In 20 years, I don’t want to rack my brain trying to remember what it was like, versus knowing what it was like. I want a photo of it. I want to be able to recall exactly how the marshmallow clouds looked that day in the sky. I wanna remember little moments, like my dog Indi munching on grass at a house with no longer live in, on the blanket we got rid of. I want to remember my baby sucking on his two fingers sprawled out on the lawn under our magnolia tree. I wanna remember them not just for me, but for my children and my children's, children. I want our memories to live forever, and only a photograph has the power of doing that, and only a good photographer has the ability to make that happen.
