You’ve heard the old saying. “A picture is worth a thousand words.” However, why do we take photos? What is the appeal that makes photographers continue to take photos?
Professionals do it to get paid. It’s how they pay the bills, but, they also have a love for photography. It’s that love that drives photographers to keep shooting pictures. So, I guess the real question is, why do we love taking photos for our blogs? Here are some of my reasons.
Captured Memories: - How many times have you gone to a friend or family member’s home and picked up a photo album or scrolled through photos on your iphone? Were you able to go through that album without smiling at least once? If you’re like me, you probably turned through the pages of that photo album and re-lived some of the memories you saw in the pictures. I’m sure you said things like “I remember this!” or “We had so much fun here!”
Captured Moments: - Moments happen all the time and they can happen fast. A kitten pouncing on a ball of yarn. A wave crashing against the shore. A baby taking its first walk. Photography freezes these moments so we can take the time to enjoy them.
Stories to tell: - Have you ever seen a photograph that just made you stop and look? These stories can be happy, sad, and any number of other emotions. So get out your camera and go capture some memories! Go capture the moments that happen around you! Tell stories with your images! Most importantly, share your images with others. Because your photography can not only inspire you, but it can inspire others as well.
