Photography has drastically changed the lives of human beings today. Not a day passes, for most of us, without a photograph. There seems to be no need for any special occasion to take a photo. A good hair day needs a photo! Your cute little pet’s homecoming anniversary needs a photo for sure! “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” says American photographer Aaron Siskind. Photography has the real magic to capture the world’s beauty. Photos can speak instantly to the world, and our reminiscence happens in real-time. Every photograph has a story to tell. The photography era has enhanced our need to create, record, and remember. Cameras have become an indispensable part of our lives. It is curating our lives for recording and curating our lives. Precious moments were made into keepsakes, while moments we no longer wished to remember were discarded.
