The Role of Photographs in Family Histories
Pictures are one of the greatest forms of storytelling media but more possible to reveal secret things about them because of Emma’s discovery. Every detail from the expressions, setting, and even the subtlest gestures told their story, which words can never say at all.
The family was able to see the same albums with new eyes. They began re-examining the old photographs and trying to find hidden clues behind them, untold stories and memories. Each picture became a conversation starter and helped in raising memories that helped them develop a deeper understanding of their heritage.
All this experience also inspired the family to start recording their lives more consciously. Knowing that today’s photographs may possibly turn into tomorrow’s mysteries made them want to leave behind, for generations, something clear and honest about their lives.
