This picture is a very old picture and was re-shot with even poor mobile phone camera. It is a pity we can not have this moment again which would have given us good privilege to shoot a clearer and more professional original image.

Did you know this picture was taken over 20 years ago? this is the reason why the caption on instagram was ‘

“It’s been grace. When you are a parent, spend time with your kids, it’s important, and try to always keep record or take pictures of the time because soon enough you’ll get old and you’ll appreciate the mormries you made and kept

The picture was taken at Ibadan Polo club.

The artwork was created with poor resolution image,  but the artist, Owolabi, tried his best,  doing a lot of zooming while painting  to get the details but with all effort he was unable to still see deep enough but tried his best to make the image still come out great.

We hope we have been able to let you see the advantages of keeping memories. no memories is too small to be lost.  

Always take pictures and video recording of your moments,  with your mobile phone  and lot of  cloud storage facility, you should not worry too much about loosing, damages or space on your mobile phone.
