I love photography

I adore photography. It's in my blood. One of my grandmothers had pictures plastered floor to ceiling on many walls of her home. My mum does it too. My sister does it. I have done it and am planning on doing something similar again soon.

I love that it preserves memories that would have otherwise been forgotten. I love that feeling when the memories all come rushing back because they were prompted by something that took a millisecond to accomplish - clicking the button on a camera. I love that old pictures are filled with friends I have loved but, through the course of growing up, no longer see, and all the fond feelings for them are recalled.

One of the things that I really love and appreciate about photography is that it has taught me to see beauty, to look for beauty, in my everyday surroundings. It has taught me to focus on what's important and to look for uses in things that may to other people appear useless.

I love photography.
