Do you ever read a quote and find yourself instantly transported by your own memories?
Quotes stir in us a deep emotion. Sometimes we just want to elicit a feeling. Perhaps you have a great picture but you don’t have a story to go with it. This is the perfect time to add quote.
Collecting quotes is a great way to make sure you always have words for your photos. Quotes can be a jumping off point to telling a story or they can stand alone.
