The Image Chronicler

All experiences offer up memories.  But memories fade with time and most people crave a record of an event.  These modern day recordings tend to be photographic:  class pictures, graduation pictures, wedding albums, baby albums, selfies, etc.

Someone has to be behind the lens.

In our family, TRMom is usually the one snapping the most images of each adventure.  This role evolved from TRMom’s dislike of pictures that include her, and TRDad’s willingness to jump into all aspects of any adventure that may intimidate TRMom.

But it means that TRMom’s image is typically missing from a lot of family experiences.  And even when we manage to strike a balance, there is still only one parent in the picture.  Our full family shots are very few and far between.

We know a lot of people enjoy professional photo shoots of their entire family.  Honestly, that just isn’t our thing.  Not only would we be out money that we can’t really afford to allocate to a photo shoot, but we know we’d end up boxing the majority of the pictures.

So instead, we take ownership of identifying a “chronicler” of events.  It is an important role that is thoroughly enjoyable.  Our family knows who was included in our experiences.  And that is enough for us.
