Dear Photograph,
Today I climbed back into that same tree for my senior portrait. The years pass by and still my photographer remains the same. Thanks Grandma, you are always there when I need you.
Love, Brittney
Dear Photograph,
There she grows, my lovely little flower, and all too quickly…
Dear Photograph,
Sometimes it’s just better to dig deep, clear away the rocks and lay down a new beginning. It’s good to know 20 years ago I helped do just that.
Jason
Dear Photograph,
I’m 32 years old now and still love my Mother’s home cooking more than anyone else’s. I’m so thankful for her unconditional love and how she always believes in me no matter what. I believe my Mom is the very best. Happy Mother’s Day!
Love, Bonnie Kate
Dear Photograph,
I wonder why my mother was smiling so big in front of the church of San Gian in Switzerland? Could it be that she was happy to be travelling with her parents? Or was it because deep inside her heart, she somehow knew she would soon meet the love of her life and future husband in Paris? She is over 90 years of age now and has no recollection of this photograph, but for me, I feel content knowing she was so happy in another time and place.
Peter
Dear Photograph,
I waited patiently on the hood of the car while my proud, big brother gave my mother and I presents to celebrate bringing me home from the hospital for the very first time. I’m just glad they remembered to take me off of the hood of the car because now I am celebrating my 30th birthday.
Marte
Dear Photograph,
Look out big Sis! I’m catching up to you. Now it’s my turn to celebrate grade 8 graduation.
Your little brother, Greg
Bernice and Zeke fell in love at first sight. It was true puppy love. Even though Bernice has long since passed away, Zeke loves to sit on that same back step, just like always. I wonder who he is thinking about…
Kiley
Dear Friends,
The journey I’ve been on these past eleven months has definitely sent me over the moon with excitement and has been surreal, to say the least. More important, it has been and continues to be a journey filled with gratitude. I want to thank each and every one of you for your beautiful and inspiring submissions. It’s an absolute privilege to view and share your photographs, along with your personal stories, each and every day with everyone from around the world. I can tell you that it was not an easy task to select the final 200-plus pictures for the book! I’m thrilled to announce that Dear Photograph, the book, is now available in bookstores today, May 8th, throughout North America. I hope you all will enjoy turning each page and take a little journey of your own with each and every photograph just as I have.
With gratitude,
Taylor Jones
Dear Photograph,
I sometimes wonder if I’d known how he looked at me when we were little, I would have have said many less unkind words and hateful, older sister comments. He might have more self confidence now. Probably the only thing in my life I’d take a do-over on, if I could.
Love, Megan
