How Photos Influence Our Memories

For centuries memories have been captured through photos. Photos are the only way to remember what happened in our lives because they capture memories, emotions, and moments that matter. Your memories don’t just stay in your head — you’ll forget most of them without a photo to serve as a reminder. Photos also serve as a visual journal for life’s events, not just memories — we take photos of ourselves when we’re feeling good or bad so we can look back and see how far we’ve come.
