10 Good Reasons That Depict Your Passion of Photography
Most of us love taking pictures, but none of us realizes why we are so obsessed with photography.
Some of us might know the reasons why we love photography, but it's not always easy to express the feelings. Many times we run out of words when it comes to describing our emotions.
Every one of us feels the need to express himself, and when we look at the ancient cave drawings, it is proven to us that even the prehistoric people felt the need to express their feelings and emotions.
I have also thought a lot about what is driving my own passion towards photography, and I have even observed the enthusiasm of students at my workshop. There are a number of reasons behind this powerful and enduring appeal towards photography which have caught my attention. While you go through this list, try to figure out which one of these is the driving force behind your passion towards photography.
1. There are no age limitations allied with photography. You can start at the earliest age, and there is no reason why you should ever stop taking pictures. Even if it is not easy for you to mobilize, there are lots and lots of possibilities for you.
2. For photography, there is no need to be very rich so that you can buy expensive equipment. However, for people willing to buy expensive toys photography is of immense pleasure.
3. Many of the people of our generation want immediate results of the efforts they are putting in. Talking about photography, today we have these modern cameras with LCDs for digital photography. These cameras provide us with instant gratification. Unlike many other pastime activities, photography doesn't ask for any experience or practice before you start taking pictures.
4. Photographs are actual solid objects which you can present to people and which can be talked about by themselves. Pictures are something which you can exhibit and discuss with your fellows.
5. Furthermore, photography provides us with yet another excuse for traveling and exploring new places. You can simply begin your journey in search of a new subject for photography, or you can also use already familiar subjects with a different location. Also, pictures can be a very good topic to start a small talk with a stranger.
6. One big reason, which is certainly my own reason for taking pictures, is that photographs are not just simple images printed on paper or LCDs. Instead, these are memories. When you look at a picture, it reminds you of the good time you have spent with someone. It reminds you of the places you have visited and the people you have met. Pictures are a medium to preserve all the most cherished moments you have lived.
7. Compared with videos or moving imagery, still pictures are more easily imprinted in our minds. They not only make you want to take more pictures, but they also fill your hearts with the desire of looking at them again and again.
8. Keen observation is a very healthy activity. But if instead of just looking at something, you capture it, it creates a special connectivity between you and the moment. Not just a connection but it also develops a sense of intimacy with taking the picture as well as viewing it later.
9. A huge positive point about photography is that you need not wait for a particular place or time to take pictures. You can start wherever and whenever you want.
10. Though photography is not just about capturing memories, taking pictures can also be looked upon as means of expressing yourself.
Every individual looks at a certain thing with his own viewpoint. It varies from person to person. Some might capture it as a whole whereas some may want to focus on a specific subject.
Whatsoever might be your reason to take pictures, keep enjoying.
