In the article we read, the author discussed that when photographing people, the picture should tell a story/ he talked about photographing your family and having pictures not where everyone is saying cheese for the camera but that their personality shines through. It was a couple years ago when my grandmother said the same thing. We come from a pretty big Italian family with 111 grandchildren. All of our parents used to make us go to Sears and pose for those stupid photots every year then we would give a big 8 1/2 -11 to my grandmother. Then one christmas we gave her a calender that was fillled with pictures of the grandkids, not posed but just hanging out together. She loved it and said that these were the kinda photos she wanted hanging on her wall instead of those ugly Sears ones. Although these pictures aren't perfect, or even close, they still tell a story. It's just getting them to the next level he was talking about where instrad of telling a story to family telling the story to anyone who looks at it.
