I would like to talk about my family photograph which was taken during one of my cousins wedding and it was taken by the photographer in that wedding who is responsible to take the wedding shoot. So I like it because it was the last photograph together with our family, my grandmother because she died two years ago and this photo was taken up to five months before the death of my grandmother. So that was the reason why it is more special to me because my father doesn’t like to take photos together because he is not interested in taking photos and his point of view is different from our family members so I always insist him to take family photo together so that I can keep it as a frame and keep it in my house, in a frame in my house but I never got that moment but I got it finally on the cousin’s wedding, everyone was taking photos to go with their family with the help of that photographer so I also insist him to take photo and our family members all came and so we finally took a photo. So I think a picture is worth 8000 words. It is true in my case also because I can memorize all the events which I have spent with my grandmother by looking through that photo. We have placed that photo in our whole area so that it is visible to others and I can also memorize my events with my grandmother by looking just through the photos. And this photo is more special. One of the main reasons is that it was the last photo to be with my grandmother and I will cherish those memories in my future because I was very interested in that person more than in my family, any family member. My family is currently 4 members, it was 5 before 2 years so I lost my favorite person and I can only look at her photos through only through the one frame photo even though I have more photos in my gallery but it is something special that if we have a framed photo in families, in order to look out our photos in the phone we need to check out gallery but it is different than frame photos.

I would like to talk about my family photograph, which was taken during one of my cousin's weddings. It was taken by the photographer responsible for the wedding shoot. I like it because it was the last photograph we took together as a family with my grandmother, who passed away two years ago. This photo was taken about five months before her death. That is why it is more special to me. My father doesn't like to take photos because he is not interested in them, and his point of view is different from that of our family members. I always insist that he take family photos together so that I can keep them framed in my house, but I never got that moment until the cousin's wedding. Everyone was taking photos with their families with the help of the photographer, so I insisted that he take a photo as well. Our family members all came together, and we finally took a photo. I think a picture is worth a thousand words. This is true in my case because I can remember all the events I spent with my grandmother by looking at that photo. We have placed that photo in our living area so that it is visible to others, and I can also recall my memories with my grandmother just by looking at the photo. This photo is more special for one main reason: it was the last photo taken with my grandmother, and I will cherish those memories in the future. I was very close to her, more than any other family member. My family currently consists of four members; it was five before two years ago when I lost my favorite person. I can only look at her through that one framed photo. Even though I have more photos in my gallery, there is something special about having a framed photo in the family. To look at our photos on the phone, we need to check the gallery, but it is different from framed photos.
