I have a lot of amazing and memorable photos that hold a special place in my heart. One of them is the one taken with my family. This picture features my father, mother, brother and me. Actually, it belongs to the old days, when my sibling and I were very young, so I can’t remember that moment very vividly. The photo was photographed in Karshi city in front of the family statue. My parents were standing in the middle. My mother was holding my brother and my father was holding me in our hands. Although it was the evening, the city seems not to have been crowded. The lights eliminated the surroundings well, making the city even more beautiful. Usually, we don’t frame pictures, so we keep it in the photo album in which there are lots of family photos. Presumably, this shot must have been taken by a professional photographer because at those times we didn’t own any smartphones that allow users to snap selfies or pictures taken with a rear camera. This photo is very sentimental for me since it preserves an enjoyable memory of our happy family. My parents say that every time they look at it, they revisit the taste captured in the photo. In the end, this picture makes me realize how an ideal family can be.
