What I like about Photographs

    Photographs have always fascinated me in the most beautiful ways, there's this extraordinary pull photographs have on me that almost feels like I am in a magnetic space and the pictures are my opposite pole.

Do you remember how when we were kids all we wanted to achieve was to build a time-machine; I wasn't any different either, and in a way photographs are the closest things we have to a time machine, they are somewhat actual time machines which don't do anything and everything at the same time. Confused on the ability of photographs right? Let me elaborate; photographs take us back to the time -to the exact moment they were taken and your mind kind of brings out the old memory from a shelf of your brain and you get to relive them like it was in front of your eyes again. The mind is the sidekick for the brain because in a magical way you get to remember all the little details of the the time it was taken and I for one think that is a little magic by itself.

Photographs are magical machines that capture a moment that is gone forever - a moment in a hurry or a moment that can never come back but yet it does come back when you look at the photographs and that just makes them more mysterious than they already are.

 I like playing with photographs afterwards; it gives you the ability to change how you experienced that moment which is gone now but you get to live it twice in how ever many different ways or times you want. Want to see how it would look like if you hadn't just had your glasses on or what would have been different if the sun wasn't shining at that moment.
To sum it all up how are our lives affected by photographs or cameras in just a sentence would be impossible but just like the way they work I would say Photography is magical.

I have always heard people experiencing their lives through a writer's perception but I like to see my life through a camera lens if it is worth capturing and holding onto I know I have done right with my life if not well; the camera still has a lot of more images to capture.
