Welcome!

   This blog honestly has not the least to do with photographic memory, but rather has much more to do with photography and memory. 
   Hi I'm Grace and this is my blog. I am for the most part a traditional artist with pencil and paint, however I am truly fascinated with learning about all kinds of art and now I've set my sights on photography and the digital arts. 
   As a college student, the main objective of this blog is to fulfill an assignment, but this is also a chance for me to expand my boundaries and more importantly, share with the world the importance this course plays. 
    It's a subject that we always seem to dodge, one we look on in horror; it's not just the idea of getting old and dying, but the idea that when we get old we might not be able to remember our life experiences, our loved ones, or how to do simple tasks simply terrifies us. For those of us who have first- hand experience with family or friends afflicted by dementia or Alzheimer's, it can be hard sometimes to look past all the bad to see the good. But this is what this blog is for!
    My goal is to change the narrative, to show that even though they go through rough times, those affected by these diseases are still people like us who want to enjoy their lives. And you guessed it,    I will be doing this through photography.
   Until next time, stay cool everyone.


P.S. I've got another blog running in conjunction with this one, feel free to check it out!
