The Power of the Printed Photograph - A Personal Moment

Greer and I just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. She used her iPhone to photograph this framed photo that resides on our bureau to post on Facebook. It was taken in 1983 by a Providence Journal news photographer.

We lived in NYC at the time and visited Newport often. It takes me back to a pleasant summer afternoon spent at Fort Adams photographing sailboats.

Most of all it reminds me of our enduring love for each other. It is a simple gesture of support and encouragement that has lasted all these years.

So that is the power of a printed photograph, a reminder of a fleeting moment.  30 years have past since this photograph was taken and  it can still be held in your hands and shared with others.

This is one reason as a wedding photographer I am committed not only in capturing the moment but preserving that moment in printed form.
