Stories told by Pictures

[Cafe Elizabeth]

Do you have any of those photos of your little ones that could tell a story with no words?  I know as a mom, I am so grateful to have the ability to take pictures of my children, what a great way to keep the memories alive! 

It is amazing how far we have come with the ability to take photos.  Like most of you, when I was growing up, digital photography wasn't around, we had to take the film to the store and get it developed... it even took longer then an hour.  :)  Now it is so easy to take photos and share them instantaneously with your friends and family.  Here are some fun facts about photography to see how far we have come (taken from Wikipedia):

• Long before the first photographs were made, Chinese philosopher Mo Ti and Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Euclid described a pinhole camera in the 5th and 4th centuries
• The first permanent photograph (later accidentally destroyed) was an image produced in 1822 by the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.
• Although color photography was explored throughout the 19th century, initial experiments in color resulted in projected temporary images, rather than permanent color images.

I would love for you to stop by the Babies group this week and share with us your favorite photos of your little ones... don't forget to share the story behind the photo with us too!  We are having a fun contest, so you can win a prize too!

A Picture is Worth 1000 Words- CONTEST!

I absolutely love to take photos! I enjoy using digital because I can edit and print in the comfort of my living room.
