Dear Photograph, Berbagi Kenangan Lama dengan Cara Unik

Dear Photograph adalah salah satu blog yang kita rekomendasikan untuk dikunjungi. Blog ini merupakan sebuah gagasan sederhana, kreatif dan dapat membangkitkan kembali emosi akan sebuah kenangan lama. Dear Photograph mengajak semua orang untuk mengirimkan potongan foto-foto masa lalu yang dikemas dalam frame saat ini. Melihat koleksi foto-foto di situs ini dapat membuat perasaan bercampur aduk, apakah itu bahagia atau terharu. 

Ide kreatif ini digagas oleh Taylor Jones, 22 yang ingin berbagi kenangan masa lalu kepada pengunjung website. Melalui blog yang ia bangun pada tahun 2011, ia mengajak semua orang untuk berbagi kenangan. Misinya sangat sederhana: kumpulkan foto lama, ambil kembali di tempat yang sama, gabungkan dan tulis caption yang unik dan dapat membangkitkan emosi.

Dalam beberapa minggu, Dear Photograph menjadi viral, jutaan orang mengunjungi situs ini dan ratusan orang telah berkontribusi untuk mengirimkan foto. Setahun kemudian, Taylor Jones memiliki ide untuk merangkumnya dalam sebuah buku setebal 241 halaman. Saat ini juga sedang dikembangkan aplikasi berbasis mobile. Dear Photograph telah menarik banyak perhatian dari banyak orang dan bahkan selebritis di Amerika Serikat turut berpartisipasi mengirimkan foto kenangan lama mereka. Berikut ini beberapa contoh foto yang diambil dari blog Dear Photograph:

Dear Photograph,
In the year 2000, Michiko came into our family and brought immeasurable joy. She passed away in 2012. How we wish she were still here so she can play with my niece Camille who is turning 1 year old in May. We miss feeding her, taking care of her, just being with her. Michiko… a true man’s best friend. Thank you for all the memories!

Dear Photograph,
This family doesn’t live in this house anymore – the daughters are all grown up and the parents have moved in retirement. The walls hold many secrets – giggles, laughter, tears, and love. I will always drive by this house randomly from time to time because the memories pull at my heart.

Amy

Dear Photograph,
I lived with these gals for four years…four years!? I miss them terribly now that we don’t live together, but I love them just the same and always look forward to the plays we go to, the progressive dinners we host, and the moments we share!

Dear Photograph,
Christmas won’t be the same without you around. We now have the house and will make memories of our own. I love you mom and thanks for making me the man I am today.

Steve

Dear Photograph,
I miss my best friend. There was never a dull moment with us. She moved away and we don’t see each other often. The memories seem to be disappearing. I wish we could go back to those days.

Dear Photograph,
I have spent every Christmas morning in this room surrounded by the people I love the most. Some of those people are no longer around, but by looking at this photograph I am able to remember them and all the amazing memories we had in that room.

Dear Photograph,
Our lemonade wasn’t a very big hit that day. Maybe we should have used real lemons instead of all that granulated stuff.

Dear Photograph,

Looking back at my mom at age 9, I can see even then that she was a confident young woman. She still stands tall and proud today, even taller in my eyes. Thank you Mom for teaching me to be strong!

Love, Nicole

Dear Photograph,
Though we have been too old to Trick or Treat for quite sometime now, Halloween won’t be the same without The Green Power Ranger. RIP little buddy, you will be missed.

Love, The Neighbourhood Kids.
