Photo Triggered Posts

I’ve done a lot of traveling with my family. My mother made me keep a journal for every trip (that’s probably how I can blog so diligently – sometimes).

When I was young, she pasted photographs into a notebook as a trigger. I had to write a paragraph long caption under each photo.

This trip to Thailand, I barely spent time behind my camera lens and didn’t take any notes. It was a good decision at the time. I felt that I was able to enjoy the full/real experience.

Now, I’m home. The habit of journaling that my mother engraved into me is itching to blog. I have no notes and no photos, so I’m going to go back to the first journaling technique that my mother taught me.

Special thanks to Crossroads, Michael Cahill, Maxine Rawson-Rodriguez, Blair Dack, Nicolas Schild, and Stefanie Sattler for sharing their pictures with me.
