AboutWhat does the meme depict?

Inspirational Photo Quotes are image macros that feature snippets of lyrics or inspirational quotes displayed in block letter format. These quotes often explore themes related to romance or relationships. The accompanying images can either be photographs of people or evocative landscapes. Due to their significant presence on image-sharing platforms like Tumblr and Pinterest, these photo quotes have not only gained widespread popularity but have also been the subject of parody and critique on various humor-related websites dedicated to internet culture.

OriginWho did it first?

The trend of pairing artistic photographs with profound quotes or verses from poems can be traced back to the early 2000s. It gained prominence through personal blogs and artist communities including LiveJournal, MySpace, and DeviantArt. Around the same time, several digital photography projects further influenced the genre's development. Notable among these projects were Frank Warren's Post Secret, a blog that featured anonymously submitted confessions on handmade postcards, and Tony Deifell's collaborative blog project, Why Do You Do What You Do?, which involved participants explaining their life choices.^[1]
