Why Take Pictures?


Imagine a place with no pictures or images. No documented memories, no images of great grandmothers, no cool funny images of random things. Unimaginable. Pictures are memories that can last forever.


Aside from recording and remembering special and unexpected events in our lives, photography has been given a whole new meaning as a form of art. It has become an art that expresses oneself through photos. People are now able to put on paper how they see things through their perspective. They can show people how they observe and how intricate subjects can be. Emotions can likely be seen in photos. Beauty can be seen through amazing landscapes, pics of funny pics can be a sign of humor. Like any art form, people will either reject or accept your way of expression, but keep in mind there is no a right or wrong way to express one’s thoughts.

Nowadays, photos can be also be a way of promoting a product, service or idea. It is a way of showing the highlights of the product and what is good about them. It also helps people make the right decisions when it comes to purchasing products or services.

Lastly, the ultimate reason why we should take pictures is because it is fun. It is highly entertaining and somewhat addicting. There are countless ways to take photos and as previously stated, there is no right or wrong way to do it. May it be serious portrait photograph or fun and flirty party pictures, pics of funny pics, photos should be enjoyed by not only the photographer but for everyone else to see.
