I was going though my mom’s boxes and
bags of photographs, I didn’t have any particular reason to but out of the
curiosity of feeling nostalgic.
Whilst going though her photographs
I realised that there was 1 photo album that was empty whilst another was only
half full. I decided to help organise the photos into the albums to avoid them
being damaged or creased and I realised there were mass amount of photos from
when my mom was in her teens and early 20s, I realised that my mom was VERY
social and was quite a fashionista!
Something about looking at these
photographs made her more relatable in the sense that she was once my age, had
a bunch of friends and liked going out having fun! I know it’s common sense
that my mom was once the same age as me but when I think of mom I can only
summarise the memories that I remember, from the days of her looking after me
and my siblings and the ‘takeaway’ life to days out to the beach with her
friends and their children on her day off from work.
Something about film photographs offers
which digital doesn’t.. It's probably because with film you're not able to
adjust the 'perfect' image but you make the most of what you have.
That reminds me! I need to finish up my
film so i can develop them and see what is on there! I haven't taken any photos
since the time Hong Kong had a massive 'Occupy Central' protest! Which would be
interesting to see!
Love,
Kat
