A Picture Paints a Thousand Words

Almost everyone knows the saying 'A picture paints a thousand words'.

Indeed, a picture or photograph can often portray so much more than a simple image.
Each picture tells a story in itself, displaying elements like the situation, background, and subject(s)... the context of what was captured.
More than that, it often (intentionally or not) encapsulates one's emotions, thoughts, perspectives, focus, interests... sometimes made obvious to the person viewing it, and at other times, made known only to the person who created it.

Behind every picture, there's a story, a reason why it was captured or created.

A friend once suggested starting a photo-blog. One photo a day. To capture and remind us of something that happened or struck us that day.

And perhaps I'll take up her suggestion. To chronicle my life and thoughts. To capture the memories of each little blessing that comes along each day. To remind me how each day is special and unique. To help me treasure things, and avoid taking them for granted.

A visual diary, of sorts.

Sounds idealistic? Perhaps :) Realistically, I probably won't update daily, but will try to do so at least once a week. After all, it doesn't take too long to upload one photo with a short caption, right? :)

We'll see :)
