Taylor Jones – Dear Photograph

I’ve always believed a photograph can be a visual story. People take photos to capture a moment; preserving the story for years to come.

I stumbled upon a blog, dearphotograph.com created by Taylor Jones where he lined up old family photographs in modern settings and snapped a new photo – instantly bringing the past into the present. What powerful stories these merged photos tell; it reaffirmed by belief in visual storytelling of photographs. This new discovery made me fall more in love with photography.

It did not take long for this fascinating approach to photography to go viral. In response to the intense interest, Taylor has created a book - Dear Photograph – filled with amazing photos and stories submitted by readers.

Yes, you can get a Kindle version, due to be released on May 22nd.  Yes, I’ve ordered a Kindle version of Dear Photograph. I suggest you check out the blog and view the photos and associated stories, you will be inspired!
