The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1922-08-16

pictures that speak the daily attitude
of the individual and pictures tina
denote a studied expression and the
work of photographers.
The most characteristic pictures OF
the individual as he or she naturally
lis, are snapshots. Snapshots are true
to life an0 they record actual, ordin-
airy characteristics of the individual
They are almost invariably taken
when people are acting naturally and
are consequently real and true to
life.
Therein lies the secret of the popu-
larity of the kodak or camera. We all
like to know our acquaintance as
| they really are. And when they have
grown older or gone we like 10 re-
member them as they were. Snap
shots enable us to do that very thing
The happiest the most vivid recul-
lectiOns are recalled by means Of ko-
dak pictures. One may take a trip to
the most famous park to the largest
city, to the extremeties of the ,arch.
but unless he Photographs some Of the
wondrous sights he has seen he will
gradually forget them. Once record
ed on a picture, these scenes are never
forgotten and the intensity of their
magnificance is never dimmed
A dozen pictures of the places one
has visited are worth more in telling
the story of that individuals travels
than hours of talk, and withal much
more graphic and realistic. The cam
era receives the most exact impress
ions and people like to see the scenes
as portrayed by the picture much
better than to hear a discourse about
them.
Then there are the friends and rel
atives. What a joy it is to every moth
er and father to have the youth of
their children live constantly before
them in pictures. The greatest APP
peal that a camera can make to par
ents is that it preserves the happy |
free spirit of their children long after |
the same children have reaced matur- |
ity.
One cannot take his friends and |
those he loves with him wherever he
goes, but he can take their pictures
in snap shots and photos. No mat
ter how life may deal with the indi-
hose pictures and not be apprecia,ive
If the friendship and love which the
persons pictured have for him.
Pictures then not only connect the
past with the future but they also
annihilate distances that would 9TH
srwise be unsurmountable. A picture
md the friend in the picture are not
he same, but there is certain quail
ty of the picture that brings that
riend nearer to one when he looks
It the picture.
Then there are the scenes of child
lood, or those scenes experienced al
my time that we like to remember
BECAUSE of some intrinsic value they
ave in our lives. Those scenes are
onstantly changing. The old home
tead the farmhouse or the beautiful
ity mansion are all subject to decay
nd change and alteration.
The home as we know it is the one
hat holds things dear to our hearts.
tut that home is never the same once

specially if someone else lives there

ONE as we loved it. To do this we

picture can keep alive these meln-
ries in a degree unknown to any
Their thing.
The warmest, the most intimate
ictures are those that contain our
lends and loved ones. The bond be-
veen kin or friends is the strongest
the world. We are essentially in
rested in people, especially those
HON we know and whose memory .
e would always keep bright.
But the pictures of scenic grandeur :,
so hold memories dear to the heart. y
