A Look Into the Past
Photo Wild Card
And Now…
When I went home one weekend at the beginning of the semester, I found all of these pictures in bins in my house. At the time, my Nonno was living with us, and he was able to tell me exactly who was in all of the photos and mostly where they were in each photo. It was so much easier for me to visualize who my relatives were and what they were like when they were younger by looking through these pictures. That is the moment I knew I wanted to do this project on the Rafanelli side of my family.
It is true what they say: A picture is worth a thousand words. I think this photo gallery really captures what life was like and how much my family enjoyed spending time together. I chose to conclude my project with this photo/ video gallery because I think it is more interesting to see pictures of what happened than to be simply told about our relatives’ past lives. I can add to this gallery throughout my life and make it into something more than just a project in my freshman year English class. This website can become an archive for my family to add to so that the generations to come may see where we started and where we ended up.
