“A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of a mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely." – Albert Einstein.

I have always been fascinated by the thoughts and writing of Einstein. In fact, my summer reading for last year was EINSTEIN: HIS LIFE AND UNIVERSE by Walter Isaacson. As I started today’s blog and was going to discuss time, a quick Google search brought up several quotes by Einstein, but I did not find the one I was searching for. I did find the one above. It intrigued me so much that I decided to throw it into today’s blog entry.
As you may know, photos are a big part of our business. We love video. We love film. We love motion. Truly though, we love the stillness of the pure photograph. Bringing a still photo to life though video and motion can really stir the emotions. photo montages or Photo KeepsakesĂȘ (as we call them) are one of our big six profit centers.
Ask yourself this question. What picture did you see in your head when you read the above quote by Einstein? I saw a black and white picture of my mother; just the stillness of her sitting in the silence of a photo. In my mind, that photo took on a life of its own. That’s one thing Home Video Studio owners do. We bring life to long forgotten photos. They come from closets, shoeboxes, albums, camera chips, and so on, but we give them a new life and a new purpose: to bring joy and happiness into our customer’s lives and into our lives.
So, think about your photos, the ones you haven’t viewed for a while. Now think about giving them new life, both for yourself and for your potential clients. Renewal comes from so many sources. You, as a potential HVS owner can restore life to forgotten photos and in turn, forgotten photos can give you new life and a new purpose (not to mention a darn good income).
If your reading this now at work, perhaps you wish you could be at play. It is a wonderful feeling to get up every day refreshed and run off to work and play in your studio. Millions of still photos are calling to you. Can you hear them?
As Einstein said: “A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same.”
