How these pieces of thought influence me. Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment,
which may not remain.The image is always there but not its owner, whom the photo can't

B Looking at a pile of old photos, I couldn't help feeling rather regretful. I've never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, it's almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood. In spite of that, those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept, except a few survivals regarded as antiques.The bald(秃 头 的) baby picture of me that I treasured, the only one left, it's now missing. Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes. Though the world is so small and we all live in it, yet we are separated by physical and psychological distances, some smaller, some larger.With the passage of time, one cannot, regretfully relive( 重 温 ) it with the same feeling as one had in the picture.What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy. One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places.They fill one with nostalgia( 怀 旧 ) in various degrees--some more, some less, and others none.That's why one has conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept with the current ones, they're even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.

family members, with favorite playmates, fellow girl-students and best friends, not only in pictures

here. This language that
but also in my life and heart.
Now, since I have learned all this, I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo
