Congrats to the winner: Seseh
Few groups of people understand the importance of pictures more than moms. That’s why I’m excited that Kodak is giving away one of their KODAK W1020 Wireless Digital Frames ($229.95) to one lucky Mom in the City reader!
I was also happy to learn how relationships can be strengthened through photography. (I had never really thought of it that way before.) Judy Weiser, an “expert” in PhotoTherapy techniques is working with Kodak to help teach people how to combat loneliness and reach out to the people they miss with photography. Helpful PhotoTherapy tips include the following:
1. Create A Picture-Perfect Environment: Decorate your space with photos of friends, family, loved ones and places you enjoy. Be sure to select photos that contain strong positive memories. Every photo has feelings and memories just underneath its surface; choosing the right one lets you to revisit those moments all over again. I especially like this point. As I decorate my new apartment, I’m going to make sure that I feature several special family pictures.
2. Share Your World: The people you miss, miss you too. Let the important people in your life know how you’re doing by sharing not just the special moments but the ordinary moments too. Sharing the “small stuff” can have a BIG impact on your relationships.
3. Interview Your Photo: Unlock the magic of your photo. Find the happiest picture in your collection and imagine a conversation with it. What positive message would it want you to know? How would it like you to feel? What would it want you to remember?
4. Try a Photo Pick Me Up: Beat your blues! Find your most positive photo and carry it with you. Looking at a photo of happier times puts you right back there again, feeling that same way, right now!
5. Breaking the Ice: Turn your photos into conversation starters. Behind every picture is a great story that wants to be told; it’s just waiting for you to ask! Sharing your photos is like sharing your life; when others hear your anecdotes, connections are made that can last a lifetime.
