We are Made of Stories...and Photographs!

I've been working on my keynote presentation for ClickCon. Part ofmy theme is how stories are an enormous part of who we are, and the majority of those stories are documented in each of our vaults of photographs.

Since it's Throwback Thursday, I pulled one of my slides from my program. It's a composite covering dozens of stories that make up my life, from a baby to a year ago. Click on the collage and view it in the SCU Lightbox, and you'll find markers from so many different chapters of my life. From WPPI and IUSA to Rangefinder Magazine, dive trips, and time with friends like Don Blair, Bob Thompson, Duncan MacNab, and Tony Corbell - the collage simply makes me smile.

While it includes some great friends the industry has lost, nothing changes the fun of a walk down Memory Lane. Take a few minutes to put together your own collage, and you should have a similar experience to mine.

I look at all these photographs, and with each one, there's a story about friends, family, and the true miracle of what we've all chosen for a career! Regardless of what you do in imaging, we're all in the business of helping people capture memories. As photographers, you're the magicians who stop time and turn the intangible into tangible moments people can hold for a lifetime.

What a kick! Happy Throwback Thursday!
