Photos for a Long Memory

Several months ago my parent had anniversary, thirty years as they got marriage. I wanted to present them something special. To present them dining set or household appliances is too usual. But I wanted that my gift make them truly happy. And I had a plan to make an album with photos of our family which will show the history of our family. I planned to gather photos of their youthful, photos of their children and grandchildren; to remind all happy minutes that they were happy together, only smiled faces where everybody is happy. It will be a great memory for our future generation. I rummaged the attic and found a lot of old photos. But I had too less photos of our times. I made a little plan which consisted of three steps: make photos using new digital camera, printed them and put to the album. The whole week I followed my parents, made interesting photos at their work, when they were together or with some members of our family. I worked the whole week and it was not for nothing. All photos were great. Then I set to the second step of my plan. I printed all these photos in the Internet. As there were a lot of photos they made me a little discount. It was awfully decent of them. When I got these photos I let all my matters stand over and set to the third step of my plan. I began to fill the album with photos. There weren't only usual photos, also I combined some photos, made collages, and even used a Photoshop. The result of my work was really amazing. Using camera and imagination I made the wonderful gift. When I presented it to my parents they were very delighted, my mother was on the verge of tears. This album contained the history of our family. We gathered together, look through photos and remembered the happy moments which had concern to one or another photo. As my mother said, it was the best gift ever.
