NPR: Dear Photograph

NPR has an article and a slideshow of a neat website that invites people to submit photos of places and experiences that they've returned to.

You have to view the slideshow to understand.  It's a really neat idea and since I'm such a huge photography person, I'm really awed by the sentimental value these photos have that have been posted.

Imagine a life altering or a life-defining experience captured in a photo.  Then you return to this location to relive or reminisce.  It's a nice way to mull over what you've been through through the pictures you've taken in your lifetime.

I know I'll be printing more photos in the future of recent travels.  Wouldn't mind returning to these locations.  :)

It's amazing how well some of these photos really match the scenery even after all the years that have passed since the photograph was taken.  Sort of makes you realize that it's not really your environment that changes with any level of dramatic urgency but rather you do...

Enjoy!
