Savor the Moment: Photo Stops for Grads

Photo Canvas

A couple of years ago, when my childhood home threatened to go up in flames during the Southern California firestorms, my parents called me in Paris—where I was blissfully studying abroad—to ask what I wanted them to take as they evacuated.  Far removed from news of home, this phone call caught me off guard.  I scanned my memory of my room for items I couldn’t stand to lose and realized that as horrible as it would be to lose our house and our belongings, it would be absolutely devastating to lose a lifetime’s worth of memories.

That’s why I made sure my parents took my photo albums with them.  Luckily our house didn’t burn down, but it definitely made me realize how important our photos are.  They document the milestones in our lives, the people that matter, the places we visited.  That’s why as graduation season approaches, it’s important to have that memory-recording equipment ready to go.

My biggest suggestion: enjoy the moment—grads and onlookers alike.  Document the event and save those photos in a safe place, because you never know when you might have to make a quick exit.  And photographs are definitely not the possessions you want to skimp on in a bind.
