My definition of photography

It's amazing how this camera a very simple equipment or tool whichever you call it can bring people together from all sorts and parts of the world. The invention of the camera witnessed the birth of human creativity, beauty, and even the evils that men have against his fellowmen even before the days of the internet. Capturing all events at anytime, any day, and any place from sunrise till sunset. This simple creation have captured moments and stored it like jars of candies, each giving its own taste of sweetness, bitterness, and often times tasteless. But the joy and excitement it brought into one's heart will be forever priceless.

This will be my definition of photography..:) Cheers!

Comment by John C on January 27, 2013 at 8:13am: Thank you @SRT30D for that remarks. It got me thinking for sometime then it came into me, yes, by all rights, our early, early ancestors known as the cavemen are indeed masters of their time. They indeed were the first to provide pictographs of sunrises, sunsets and animals. But, then none of the outside world were able to see their crafts and their talents. In general very few knew their existence until the camera came in. Through it, we were able to print photos as hard evidence of their existence, we no longer talked about it nor draw about it, we were able to see and relate to their time, the difficulties and the rare talents or gifts that they got. This has changed the way we think since then. So in general, I guess, it did not really discounts their mastery, but enhance their existence and showed to the world the triumph of man from the caves through the coming of the camera era.. but then just to say I'm no experts in history or geography, this is just of course my opinion. :) thanks for reading/viewing/commenting really appreciate the exchange of ideas. Cheers :)

That is, of course, if one discounts the Masters of paint, the Cave Man pictographs, sunrises and sunsets created by the Master's Master.
