As I write this, I keep thinking about how photography has never really been a “need”.
You do not need photos in the same way you need groceries.
But I think about how often I hear someone say, “I’m so glad we have these.”
Not because the photo is perfect. Usually it is because something changed. Maybe your kid suddenly looks taller than you remembered. A friend moved across the country. Someone you love is no longer here. Sometimes a season of life ends so quietly that you do not realize it until you are already missing it.
I think that is why photography matters to me so much, because some things deserve to be remembered the way they actually felt.
