A photograph has the ability to capture a place; an experience; an idea; a moment in time. For this reason, it’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Photographs can convey a feeling faster than, and sometimes even more effectively than words can. A photograph can make the viewer see the world the way the photographer sees it.
Photographs even transcend the passing of time – a photo from a hundred years ago can still be as appreciated now, as it was then. A photo taken tomorrow, can still be just as appreciated by others in a hundred years’ time.
With the popularity of mobile devices with exceptional photographic capability, photography is within reach of practically everyone. Join the World Photography Day celebration, this August 19th. Go out and capture a moment. #WorldPhotographyDay .
