Picture Perfect

Embarrassed by those pictures where you are bathing and you are posing with the bucketnext to you. Those are memories which we can’t capture by anything but a photograph. When you ask people what possessions they would rescue from their burning house, one of the most frequent answers is the photograph album or a computer with their digital images.These gems are the only gateway to just relive a moment which has already passed in our lives. It gives us a chance of doing what nobody can actually can which is travelling through time. And hence this piece of paper can do wonders.

We have a constant desire to distil our most precious moments into images. Photographs are our personal story, a timeline of our lives filled with faces and places that we love. They are our story, which we can share with others. The hundreds of images come together to form a narrative of our lives. We preserve the important events and people in our lives. The ceremonies of birth and birthdays, marriages and anniversaries, holidays and new houses are all recorded because they matter. Photographs evoke nostalgia. They serve as a chronicle of our lives, where we've been, what we've done, who we were. They tell the story that we don't always speak. They're the legacy we leave behind for our children, offering a way toshare our stories with generations to come.

Ourphotographs shareso much about who we are as individuals: what we find beautiful, fascinating, funny, delicious, important, inspiring. They allow us to showcase our personal style, interests, relationships, and adventures, to mark the passage of time.

Photographs play an important role in everyone’s life – they connect us to our past, they remind us of people, places, feelings, and stories. They can help us to know who we are.Photographs are a tangible link to the past.

Photographs matter because they freeze moments of our lives which pass unremarkably and which seem to have little importance to us at the time. They can be small pieces of a jigsaw that complete the larger picture of our lives. Our images can express joy and sorrow, wonder and sympathy. Every human emotion can find a place in photography.Photographs can grab our attention and speak directly to our emotions.Photography, at its best, is a powerful language which speaks to our emotions. It allows us to tell our story and show others our framing of the world around us.

I am not against clicking pictures via phone and not by a camera and then get it developed in a proper photograph but the essence of that photograph stays put for generations. The vision stays alive and the legacy breathes through. Nostalgia and memories crawl in and hence we get the time to admire those good times we had spent together. And the photograph that captures those moments which makes us smile filled tears is picture perfect.
