The host interviewed Taylor Jones, a 22-year-old who created the website www.dearphotograph.com. Here&#8217;s what Jones, in an article at <a title=\"Dear-Photograph-New-Age-Nostalgia\" href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/blogs\/pictureshow\/2012\/05\/14\/152522944\/dear-photograph-new-age-nostalgia\" target=\"_blank\">www.npr.org<\/a> says about how the website came about:<\/p>\n<p><em>He came up with the idea last year while sitting at his parents&#8217; kitchen table. While flipping though a family photo album, he stumbled across a picture of his younger brother, Landon. &#8220;It was his third birthday,&#8221; Jones says. &#8220;He had a Winnie the Pooh cake, and I was sitting in the same spot my mom was when she took the original photo.&#8221; Landon was also sitting in his same birthday seat. So, Jones held up the old picture \u2014 taking care to line up kitchen cupboards just so \u2014 and snapped a photo. He posted it on his blog, and the rest, he says, is history.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>People can go to the website and submit their own photographs, all of which must begin with the words <em>Dear Photograph<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, an intriguing concept. So intriguing, I started thinking about what picture I would like to rephotograph in the same setting as it was originally taken.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One from our South Dakota days? Too far away.<\/li>\n<li>A wedding shot? Too unoriginal.<\/li>\n<li>A Kodak Instamatic shot of the Badlands from the famous camping trip with my uncle and aunt? Not sure where that one is.<\/li>\n<li>Something from my teaching days? No, they tore the school down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Undecided, I opened iPhoto, and there was the scan of a newspaper clipping we found when cleaning out Mom&#8217;s house 3 years ago. The clipping records one of my earliest clear memories &#8211; the day my aunt took her two daughters, my brother, and me (I&#8217;m the one closest to the camera)\u00a0 to watch a parade in our home town. I don&#8217;t remember the parade as much as the newspaper photographer who shot the picture. I do remember how safe I felt with my aunt, how much help she said I was, what a big girl I&#8217;d become. Heady stuff for a middle child whose major talent at the time was tripping over her own feet.<\/p>\n<p>The caption says 8,000 spectators watched the American Legion Parade that day in 1961. It also lists our names, ages, and the address of the corner\u00a0 where Aunt Donna found a quiet, shady spot (Central Avenue and Fourth Street SE) so we could watch the National Guard trucks rumble past.<\/p>\n<p>Mom and I are going to visit Aunt Donna in a couple weeks. Maybe I&#8217;ll take the original clipping along, find that street corner, line up the clipping with the present day location, snap a picture, and submit it to <a title=\"Dear-Photograph\" href=\"http:\/\/dearphotograph.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.dearphotograph.com<\/a>. I know what to write beneath my submission.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dear Photograph,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fifty years has taught me it&#8217;s more fun to join the parade of life than to sit and watch it go by.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jolene<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NPR ran a story about an intriguing concept this morning.
