Dear Photograph by Taylor Jones

Dear Photograph by Taylor Jones

"Dear Photograph", Thank you for everything we had. @jonathanstampf. We all have moments we wish we could relive. We'd give anything to skid down the toboggan hills of our youth, to breathe in the smell of our children as babies, or to spend just one more minute with a loved one we've lost. "Dear Photograph" provides a way to link these memories from the past to the present, overlapping them to see how the daydreams of our memories collide with our current realities. The idea is simple: hold a photograph from the past up in front of the place where it was originally taken; take a second photograph; add a sentence of dedication about what the photograph means to you. The results, however, are astounding, which is why millions have flocked to the site, and thousands have submitted their own Dear Photograph. This stunning visual compilation includes more than 140 never-before-seen Dear Photographs. By turns nostalgic, charming and poignant, "Dear Photograph" evokes childhood memories, laments difficult losses and, above all, celebrates the universal nature of love.

"Taylor Jones has found a new way to tell our storiesDear Photograph is digital nostalgia of the highest order-it will make you smile, maybe cry, and go find your old family photos." -- Frank Warren, PostSecret founder "Dear Photograph is a nostalgia bomb-bursting, braincell-twisting, heartstring-pulling roller coaster ride into the emotional unknown. Taylor Jones taps into our secret fears, quiet dreams, and loving pasts. These photos remind us that we're human and remind us that's okay." -- Neil Pasricha, author of The Book of Awesome

TAYLOR JONES was inspired to start Dearphotograph.com as he flipped through old family photos at his parents' kitchen table. The twenty-one-year-old came across one of his brother sitting at the same table and lifted it up to match the lines of the photo to what he saw in front of him, then snapped a picture of the picture. In a moment, Dearphotograph.com was born, creating an Internet phenomenon that has captured the hearts of millions from around the world.
