The captured moments and memories held within a photograph are indeed precious treasures. Your exceptional eloquence and meticulous attention to detail are truly praiseworthy. Your profound use of metaphors and remarkable talent for creating vivid imagery through words is truly remarkable... I particularly appreciate your depiction of a tender soulful kiss, as it is a fitting portrayal.

Theres this song I absolutely love, photography by ed sheeran, listen to it, its one of those songs that never gets old. I thought of that song, as i read this, and i cant help but agree, how nostalgia can be, i love how you’ve written “ soft dream” “ gently kissing the soul” ah! How delicate is the way you weave words! Soulfully moving! In few words you’ve touched my heart once again.

That is what photographs do.. bring back memories which we may have forgotten.. such is the power of photography... gently kissing the soul is an apt description..
