LIFECATCHING BOOK REVIEWS

Each of us receives an inheritance: be it physical items or property, a tradition, or a birthright. As collectors, we find and care for the memorabilia and antiques that compose our physical heritage, preserving it for the generations to follow. Now with Life Catching, we have the tools for preserving the non-physical, the memories and experiences that give provenance and deeper value to the treasures in the attic.

LifeCatching makes collecting personal histories joyful, creative and satisfying. This imaginative guidebook is vivid and thorough, and gives you all the tools and support you need to photograph, record and celebrate the uniqueness of family and friends. Tabach and Clark convince us that when you capture the past, you honor the present and inspire the future. Bravo!

How perfectly titled this little gem of a book is!  “Life Catching.”  It catches the reader who has discovered the preciousness of ‘the moment.’  It is part practical, a unique form of ‘how to’ and part inspirational, rich in examples and wisdom.  In Barbara Tabach’s words, “In a world that doesn’t always make sense, we need to celebrate the moments that do.”   I would add, “and pass them on to the next generation as a legacy.”
