Pictures play an
important role in our life. We click, we edit, we post and share our memories
with our friends and family. In the world of social media, everyone is has at
least one social media account where they try building their personality by
uploading pictures and videos.
We click pictures
which completely defines our personality. But do we ever think about how these
photographs came into the existence?
It was 1839, from
where the era of photography begins. It was American photo enthusiast, Robert
Cornelius who clicked the world’s first picture. He put the camera on stand
removing the lens cap, after that he ran into the frame and on the back Robert
had written ” The world’s first light picture ever taken 1839 ”.
Importance of Photographs in our life
1. Photographs Tells Us What Is Important to Us
If we talk about of
the importance of photographs, we can simply ask people about the situation in
which you have to pick up your possessions from your burning home. Most of the
people will choose photograph album or a computer with their digital images.
Interestingly they
would choose photographs rather than their valuable jewelry. One photo is
powerful enough to remind you of an event or an occasion. Memories that were
lost somewhere, you can bring them back by just looking on the pictures.
2. Photographs
Tells Us of Our Origin
Being small, we
have a lot of questions about our birth. We often ask questions seeing our
parent’s wedding album that where the hell am I? but for those little kids they
are the most genuine questions.
So their parents
show them the pictures of their birth. So by having a look on those photographs
they got satisfied.
3. We
Can Share and Communicate Through Pictures
Because of the
basic human nature, we share the things which we find beautiful. There are
millions of people sharing their personal passionate experiences and something
quirky with photographs to the world. Our photographs can even involve
strangers in our life that is so powerful.
4. Photography
Is a Complex Language to Understand
Pictures can
express emotions of joy, happiness, sorrow and sympathy. Every emotion can find
a place in photography. We upload pictures on our social media handles where we
post our mood stories.
So by just seeing
your story, people connected to you came to know about the emotions you are
feeling that time. So photography is the great way to communicate without even
saying anything.
