Captured Photographs. Captured Memories.
Photographs are our links to the past. They are captured memories of our existence trapped on a piece of special paper for us to treasure, keep and share.
The digital age has made freezing time possible, easier and even more affordable. Almost everyone owns a digital camera or at least a mobile phone with one. A quick click here and a speedy snap there with your family, spouse, friends and lovely people result to photographs to cherish a lifetime.
I myself have thousands of photos saved on my laptop and desktop. I arrange them in folders titled with dates and places. Whenever I am feeling like traveling back in time, I simply open my past by looking at the captured moments I’ve saved all these years. Photos magically bring me back to places I’ve been, remind me of my old [same] self, tell me stories of friendship and broken relationships and make me smile and say, “Despite life’s ups and downs, I have been lucky all the way!”
Due to what seems to be non-stop clicks and snaps, it has become a necessity to back up my files in case my computers crash. For my own peace of mind, I’ve transferred a bunch of photos to an external hard drive, some photos to USBs and a few photos to cds [http://www.scandigital.com/]. I’ve also saved a number of pics online to easily share them with my family and friends back home.

I love taking photos, and photography has actually been a continuously growing passion for me.. :) I save my photos on an HD, but I also try to upload them on photo hosting sites for both sharing and safety purposes. I have to say though that I somehow miss the old days when we only have film cameras. There's something really special with having to develop a roll of film and wait for the photos. Parang mas exciting and special kahit mas konti lang ang shots.. XD
