subject: Photos and Videos for those Special Moments [print this page] There are some moments in life that you want to remember forever. They are so amazing, so beautiful, so sublime, that you want to hold onto them, you never want to let go.
With Dreamlife photos and videos, you never have to let go of your precious memories. Capturing those special moments on film is the best way to ensure that the memories remain vivid and vibrant. So powerful is the ability of video and photography to capture a moment that later on down the track it is hard to distinguish between the real memory and our memory of the video or photo. They serve as an aide de memoire, an anchor for memory, revitalising your past every time you look at them.
The moments that you want to cherish forever are often quite obvious, like your wedding, the day your child was born and other such significant times in your life. These are those significant occurrences in life that make you smile every time you think of them, that fill you with that warm feeling of happiness and contentedness. Looking at a video or a photo of those moments is even more powerful, it collapses the distance of time that divides you from that moment, taking you back to the past and bringing the past to you. It is more than just memory, it can actually bring back emotions and feelings that you may have forgotten, which is important because often we tell ourselves we will never forget, but the ravages of time and the daily vicissitudes of life often mean that we cannot keep those promises we make to ourselves. That is why having these aide de memoires on hand is so important, they tie us to our past selves, they give our lives context and continuity.
It is telling that often when someone's house is on fire, that the first thing they run to, the first thing they think of trying to save, is their family photos and video. This shows how powerful they are, how irreplaceable these precious memories are. Capture you precious moments forever, because you won't get a second chance.
