Today, I went to the Titanic Museum in Branson, MO. I must say that this was a moving experience! If you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it! The story was told in photographs and memorabilia . The images were just ordinary black and white images of ordinary people. Lately, I have grown to love black and white! They make such a dramatic statement. The image tells the story with no distractions. My favorite shot I saw today was the one above with a young boy playing with a top. There was a description that told the story of the family pictured and their lives. There were many photos displayed that said..."only known photo remaining" or "unidentified passenger". These images tugged at my heart. I could only think someone somewhere has no photos of their ancestor or someone may be looking for a photo of their great-great grandma.
I talk to so many people who say.."I need to have a family portrait made." This is usually followed by a "but" or "as soon as". The passengers on the Titanic thought they were gong on a grand adventure to tell of for years! Some did, some didn't. Some have photos for people to remember them by, some don't Don't let a few snapshots of your family be the only family photos you have. Capture the love, laughter and relationships that you share with your family. Have your family portrait made. You will be glad you did!
