Happy world memories day to all!
I’m exceptionally greatful because I cannot imagine how life would be without photographs. One of the greatest invention ever.
For me, photographs are like a storage chip, Where you can store memories in it. Also thanks to the digital world for making it much easier and long lasting!
So yeah, First ever favourite photographer of mine is my mother! She was excited to capture me and I was excited to pose. I go back to those weekend photoshoot parties of us! I used to play dress up and she captured them all. Grew up in the 90’s era had no unlimited shots as it was limited to 30(not sure, too lazy to google). Mom, she was skilled and never let any picture go lame even at times when I was restless.
Photographs can brush the fading memories!
At home, I and mom with a cup of coffee sat with all the fat photo albums to explore. I adore this. As she discloses to me the stories behind the picture which I don’t recall. I ate a centipede and she’s got a photo of that. I’m like, mom you should have stopped me from eating it instead of clicking a picture! Well, she did stop me after getting a picture. So, it’s all about a photograph. Can you sense how critical it is? These memories of mom would have faded if she didn’t have a picture to brush them.
Photographs can be painful at times. not like, Picture where you are crying in pain but the picture where you are flawlessly happy! They end up agonizing when the feeling caught in the picture is no more the same. When it’s only the picture that you have and not the people in it! I’m sure we all have such photographs. Painful but precious ones!
So yeah! Pictures have a life! The inventors are no less than a divine being! I worship you 🙂
