Thirsty Thursday's | More Photo Collage Inspo

You have them.

I know you do.

Stacks and stacks of photos just waiting to be seen, framed and shown off, but instead they sit idle and collecting dust in photo boxes and albums.

There comes a point where every photographer (from the Polaroid totin' tween to the professional with bags of expensive equipment) that we start to wonder about the quality of our pictures vs. the quantity. Ok, maybe not the tween since usually during those years its all about capturing as many pictures as humanly possible in an attempt to freeze those moments for ever.

But as we get older, I think we naturally start thinking about the accumulation of stuff that seems to collect without our homes and our hearts. And sometimes, it's better to have 100 really good, soul baring pictures, rather than 1000 posed-for-in-front-of-disneyland/rose bushes/nice car style photos.

But once we start learning how to take those photos - then what do we do with them? Should we really just tuck them away with the other 40 grade 3 reading ceremony pictures? (not taking anything away from grade 3 reading ceremony pictures).

I'm thinking not.

Which is why I'm creating this post. To give you a little inspiration to dust off those old/new/even undeveloped pictures and pick out your favorite ones. No, they don't have to be cheery, and now they don't all have to be from the same christmas party/family reunion/wedding. Pick the ones that speak to your soul. That make you feel proud to say that you took that picture, that you captured that moment.

They don't even have to be of people that you know, or even people at all.

Sometimes we forget that photography isn't all about memories. Sometimes it's just about capturing a feeling.

So I'm sharing some inspiration that I've found recently, to help us all get those dusty pictures out of their nooks, and up! Up on walls, up on shelves, up on counter-tops. Heck, even up on the floors.


Framed.

Propped.

Lined

So those pictures are finally able to do what they were meant to do when the were taken - inspire us.

In whatever journey we are on.

To inspire us to be happy.

more creative.

giddy.

self-caring.

loving.

or to be still

So go on, be creative with your pictures. Even if you aren't creative by nature. Heck, even just copy what's done here. Your friends and family won't even know it was copied. They just might think you pulled that originality out of your butt.

But at the end of the day - you will have displayed your photos. Your artwork. And things that make you happy.

Now doesn't that just make you excited all on its own?
