Preserve Your Memories, They're All That's Left You

Simon & Garfunkel’s Bookends may be a short song, but its message lingers long after the last note fades. In just a few lines, it captures the passage of time, the weight of nostalgia, and the bittersweet beauty of memories.

"Time it was, and what a time it was, it was

A time of innocence, a time of confidences..."

These words remind us how fleeting life’s moments are—how today’s laughter, friendships, and even the smallest details of our lives will one day be the memories we cherish most.

As a photographer, I feel this deeply. Every portrait, every captured smile, every frozen moment in time—these are the bookends of our stories, holding together the chapters of our lives.

"Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you."

A powerful reminder to hold onto what matters. To document our journeys. To celebrate the people, places, and experiences that shape us. Because one day, it’s those snapshots—whether in photographs, songs, or in our hearts—that will bring the past back to life.
