A photographic competition in my local newspaper caught my attention 'what makes you happy'. So I started to think about what makes me happy and if I could capture it in a photograph?
Thinking about the question my answer would be something that can't be taken away, can't be bought or sold and will always be exclusively mine.
I won't win the competition because what makes me happy can't be photographed.
It's something I can keep adding to and something that should bring me joy when despair takes over.
The sad task of clearing my late mother's home recently of all her possessions reinforced my belief that it can only be 'happy memories' that make me happy.
