For years my parents, each time they have dragged-out any old photos, they are quick to state that "Your sister and you will never want these pictures." I have explained to them, to the extent that there is any truth to that; it would not be from a lack of interest in our family's history, it would be the result of a lack of "Context."
Old Pictures carry Memories only as long as the person viewing them recognizes the people contained, or stories connected to the images. Sure, devoid of information regarding the history, names and personalities: then one looses any personal connection the images and they become just generic "Old Photos."
It's the stories that are interesting.

Today we live in a world where the average 16 Yrs old girl has 950 photos on Facebook
This was a time when two or three photos are the sole images to capture whole periods of one's life.

This is where names, dates and stories create value and interest. I want to see the stories posted here.
