I was younger then Captured within a frame
As much as I change It will always remain the same
Put up on a wall Or held together in a book
Wherever it's held It's there for people to look
Now go back to that place Go forward 10 years to today
Take a picture of that memory In the same way
Dear Photograph I've got so many things to tell you
Of years that have passed And things that are new
Dear Photograph You'll always make it through
And this photograph Will always stay with you
----------- Inspired by Dear Photograph. "Some of the Web's best sites consist of variations on one simple idea. In the case of Dear Photograph, that idea is taking a snapshot - usually one featuring one or more people and dating from the film-photography era - and holding it up against the original setting so that the past and present blend into a new work of art. The images contributed by the site's readers are wonderfully evocative. Looking at the family photos of strangers was never so transfixing. - TIME Magazine"
