This sweet "Dear Photograph" Tumblr photo has over 58,000 notes
(CBS) - Add "Dear Photograph" to your list of genius Tumblrs. The premise is simple: take a photo of a photo to fuse the past with the present. Then, submit it with a note that starts, "Dear Photograph..."
Most will make you smile, but this one submitted by Jonathan Stampf will make you cry. The caption: "Dear Photograph, Thank you for everything we had."
"Dear Photograph" founder Taylor Jones says, "The bench photo has been quite the post. I knew right away when I posted it, it would have a major effect on people. It's such a powerful photo."
He started the user-generated blog after taking his own photo. "I was sitting at the kitchen table with my family looking through old photographs when I came across a photo of my brother sitting at the exact same kitchen table when he was about 4 years old," Jones recalls. "I held up [the photo] and immediately grabbed my camera and snapped a picture."
Jones did the same with five or six more photos found in their family albums, and "Dear Photograph" was born.
