Default The Importance of a Photo

This is such a thought-provoking story; heart-wrenching as well given the inevitable outcome.

What a beautiful sensitive photo. I am glad that the photographer was able to convince dad to do a family portrait, even if he was reluctant.

Thats such a sad story, and a beautiful photo, one I'm sure baby Brielle will treasure when she is older too.

Theat is a stuning pic and a sad story.
If ever there was a picture that told the story of the Ode to Rembembrance, this would be it.

Wow! I'm glad for the family that Erik had dad included. There always seems to be a new surprise around every corner.

And that's exactly it the importance of photographs - photographs capture a moment in time like nothing else can and they last a lifetime.

We owe so much to our armed forces and their families.
