Watch Photography a touching animated short film about an old lady who stumbles upon an old Polaroid camera and relives her life once more with her late fiance with the help of photographs
Well we all love to take selfies and lots of photographs so that we can rejoice our past adventures and memories which often works as a healing notion for present sufferings especially those of the one's we have lost. This is was the similar case in the animated short film "Photographs" wherein an old lady stumbles upon an old Polaroid camera in the junkyard mistakenly clicking the magic button wherein by surprise she takes her own selfie while trying to figure out what that thing was. After a few tries she finally understands how the camera works and to a surprise jumps on to an adventure indulged with taking her selfies while hanging upside down the staircase, rolling down the merry go round in the park to that of climbing to the top of the mountain. While it looks like the old lady is having lots of fun the touching twist comes later in the story when she pins down the photos along side the similar photographs of her with her fiance from the past in the same locations as she once more rejoice her past life with her late fiance waiting for her time to end. The touching twist of reliving her life once more with photographs was very heart warming and often goes on to show how people cope with the lose of their loved ones and reminisce their memories through photographs. :'(
The touching animation short film was created by Brendan Clogher and Christina "Kiki" Manrique as a thesis film at Loyola Marymount University in LA which certainly punches a pack considering how closely it relates to our lives all around the world. So people take lots of photos so that you don't regret later of not taking them when you need them the most. Kind of reminded me of the baby who ruined his father's portrait with him with his poop. :D And here a bonus of photographs track by Nickelback. :)

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
