They always say “A picture is worth a thousand words.” And to
me it truly is. Pictures are what capture the best and worst of times. Though they
only capture a single moment in time, the story behind it has a much bigger meaning.
Pictures are everywhere
in our everyday life. And without them I think life would be pretty boring.
They tell stories, good and bad, and help us learn new things. When babies are
born, parents, friends and family members take thousands of pictures. This is because
they don’t want to forget a single moment of their life. My parents still have
my baby pictures and to this day we still pull them out every once in a while.
Even though, I can’t remember what was happening, my parents can and I think it’s
important to them.
I broke my leg
in third grade. It was a long process in the hospital and physical therapy to
get back to normal. Along the way, my mom took tons of pictures trying to
capture those significant moments. Even though, they weren’t the happiest or
most fun times, they are a big part of my life. And when I look at them, they remind
me of the wonderful people that helped me get through it and made it just a
little bit better.
You could say I
have a passion for taking and looking at pictures. In my room I like to
surround myself with them. There are at least 10 picture frames in my room
already. Not only do I like to just have pictures up, I like to put them up in
creative ways that are somewhat out of the ordinary. For instance, I bought
some Christmas lights to hang up on the wall and when they are up I’m going to
hang pictures from them in between the lights. I also bought a picture frame
that isn’t your usual square/rectangular frame. This one is a bunch of oversized
paper clips put together. Pictures are a one of a kind piece of work. And I
like to display them like that.
