#144: Take a Picture, It'll Last Longer
Whether you pose happily or are a serial camera dodger, there are probably some photographs you treasure. Photos are a way of connecting us with our past, capturing a special memory, or even giving us a peek into each otherâs lives â albeit through a filter.
This weekâs stories explore the unique art of photography, and how it impacts our lives in big ways, and tiny ones.
