I used to wonder why Mum (yes, I sometimes like to call her that) would never take a picture of a historic sign, famous building or beautiful scenery without someone standing near, adding smiling face to the shot. She always says, “it’s the people pictures you remember and love to see the most.”

I must say, I still like the art shots.

You definitely have to have a good mix though, because you certainly cannot leave out the people! I think I’m understanding more and more what dear Mum means.

At any rate, for this post, and for simplicity’s sake, I decided to choose the best people pictures from last week with our family, and through these many shots, you’ll get a good idea of what we did, how we liked it and what we look like.

Get ready for a huge batch of photos!

So tell me, when you flip through an old photo album (notice I said “old”), which do you observe more closely, the art shots or the people shots, or both? (and by “art” I simply mean good photography of nature and whatnot) And which do you remember most?
