I have decided to take a note from a fellow blogger (and friend) and start doing some regular weekly postings with set themes. The first I have decided to start is photo Wednesdays. Most of you know I strongly feel that photographs are a very important part of our lives. I work very hard to try and help people protect, preserve, display and celebrate their photos with one of my side jobs as a Creative Memories Independent Consultant. I have decided to bring a little of that to my blog by sharing some of my favourite photos and what they mean to me. I hope you will all enjoy the photos as much as I do.
This first photo is by far one of my very favourite photos of all time. It was taken in 2008 while I was in Europe. It is a library in a monastery in Melk, Austria. When I look at the photo I can still smell that amazing smell of an old library - like old worn leather. I can still remember clearly the awe I felt as I looked at all the old leather bound volumes and the desire to read all of the books. It was by far one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I have ever been. The true power of the photo for me (and why I turned it into a photo panel as well as why it is often my desktop background for my work computer) is that whenever I'm stressed or frustrated or in need of some creative inspiration I look at the photo and remember my few moments in that library and everything seems calmer.
