An Old Picture

Have you ever seen a photography of forty years ago that reminds you to someone? Well that happened to me when the last day I found a family album filled with pictures of my father. But there was one photo in particular that made me impressed by the resemblance that he has with my son, also I noted the changes that my father has had throughout his life, and especially this picture caused me many feelings of wanting to know more about his life.

Everything started one day when my mother and I went to clean an old room where we used to put old stuff. At first, when I saw the picture I got surprised, asking myself, why was there a picture of my 18 months son? It was creepy at first, but then I figured out that the little boy that appeared in the portrait was my father when he was two years. In that photography, I saw the same face of my baby, and some little faction that were really similar to my son. Like, the little and mischievous eyes, and the golden curls that my father ever had.

After we saw that portrait, I went to ask some questions about the picture to my father. He was surprised to because he started to remember a lot of things, but he didn’t say anything. I saw a tear falling down from his eyes, and he started to tell me about his childhood and the mischief that performed with his siblings. I was really excited and intrigued by all the stories of his life. After asking many questions about the picture, I started to know more about my father’s past. I think that was the best experience in my life because I could learn more about my dad.

In the picture that I found, I notice the physical changes that my father has had throughout his life. For example, in the picture he has white skin, but now he has a dark skin color. In addition, he used to have a curly blond hair, and his hair now is black and grey. It’s funny to see how he has changed over the years; when he was a little boy, he was blond, and now he changed.

Finally, it’s amazing to find a picture from the past that remind you of someone, and it makes you feel the need to know about that past. When I found this particular picture, I have really impressed by the resemblance that he has with my son, Martin. The feelings and the beautiful experienced that this picture made me live are incredible.

An Old Picture

 

Have you ever seen a photography of forty years ago that reminds you to someone? Well that happened to me when the last day I found a family album filled with pictures of my father. But there was one photo in particular that made me impressed by the resemblance that he has with my son, also I noted the (if you are talking about physical changes, you have to mention "physical changes")  changes that my father has had throughout his life, and especially this picture caused me many feelings of wanting to know more about his life.

Everything started one day when my mother and I went to clean an old room where we used to put old stuff.   At first, when I saw the picture (should say where you found that picture, for example in a chest or in a very dusty box) I got surprised, asking myself, why was there a picture of my 18 months son? It was creepy at first, but then I figured out that the little boy that appeared in the portrait was my father when he was two years. In that photography, I saw the same face of my baby, and some little faction that were really similar to my son. Like, the little and mischievous eyes, and the golden curls that my father ever had.

After we saw that portrait (you mentioned a photo album an not a portrait), I went to ask some questions about the picture to my father. He was surprised to (,) because he started to remember a lot of things, but he didn’t say anything. I saw a tear falling down from his eyes, and he started to tell me about his childhood and the mischief that performed with his siblings. I was really excited and intrigued by all the stories of his life. After asking many questions about the picture, I started to know more about my father’s past. I think that was the best experience in my life because I could learn more about my dad.

In the picture that I found, I notice the physical changes that my father has had throughout his life. For example, in the picture he has white skin, but now he has a dark skin color.
