I have yet to get through the whole book. I start crying nearly every time I crack it open. It captures so much. The biggest thing I took away from this book is that life is so short and fragile and we need to hold onto our memories for dear life and not let go. It takes me back to being a kid and being annoyed when my parents took pictures and made us pose. This book captures all of that. It is worth every penny. I plan to give this book to several people as a gift. Looking at this book is truly a gift. I have loved every page I have read so far. Truly amazing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. BrilliantBy IrinaThe idea of the book itself is truly stunning. First I heard about the website. visited it and... Well. I cried for the whole evening because of those wonderful touching and really amazing stories there were there.After that I decided to purchashe the book as a gift to my beloved one for our anniversary.Some will say that you dont need a book if there is Internet. but this way. printed on paper (of a very well quality I should say) you can always keep it in a place that is closer to your heart than your laptop: on your bookshelf.And now Im glad because even if the web-site disappears some day I shall be able to keep those stories. pictures and memories of people that I shall never meet but do understand.A must for anyone. Well. really.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. InspiringBy Karen K. SchlossTaylor Jones "Dear Photograph" is based on his Website. on which people are encouraged to take a photo from their past to its place in the present and photograph the old against the new-- preferably with their thumb in the picture. I find the concept fascinating. and the execution of the beautiful photographs in the book combined with the descriptions of what we are seeing is just breath-taking. Plan to spend a long time perusing this volume. and expect to be inspired to produce some "Dear Photograph" submissions of your own.
