why photography..?

    The biggest reason, I believe photography is so important to me, is just the ability of capturing a moment as it happens with just a single click of a button. It serves as a snap shot in time, freezing of a moment. People often say that a picture is more than one hundred words and I personally support this statement fully. A photo can capture so much of that moment, the things that may fade with the human memory, specifically things like the time, the scene, moreover just the essence as a whole, the emotions, the feelings, just the overall atmosphere.


      In addition to this there is so much more artistic components of photography. Photography itself is an art, something simple for anyone to admire. To me, photography servers as a way for me to show others around me, what I can see. It provides the ability to show the world in a different angle. Through society today there is so much corruption and with mass media advertisements the true beauty of the world is often hidden.


      A simple picture, the ability to stop and take the time to showcase even an mundane item, in a different light is enough to remind people what is real. Here is an example, while me and my friend were on a walk, I happened to have my camera with me and noticed a snail. Something so small as a bug on the wall, something not particularly pretty or outstanding can been seen in a different light, a different angle, shown as the beauty within the world.
