Taking photos is something that we as people do all the time. Whether it’s a simple photo with family or friends, or a photo of a beautiful sunset, photography can help by capturing the small moments in our lives. Hopefully by the end you will see how taking photos are very special, as they can hold feelings, show a timeline of your life, help you remember small details in the photos, and will never change.

  When you look at a photo, how do you feel? Maybe a feeling of joy, sadness, or something bittersweet. Taking photos isn’t only capturing moments, it also captures the emotions that were felt when they were taken. Like a photo of a younger you smiling, you can feel how they felt by just looking at the excitement in their eyes and the joy in their smile. Photography is a way to not only remember the moments in our lives but to preserve the emotions and feelings we had during them, this is one of the reasons why photography is special. 

  How many photos have you taken throughout the years? Maybe a lot, or just some here and there. When you take photos you’re constructing a visual timeline of your life, seeing how different you were and looking at the gradual changes in not just yourself, but everyone in the photos. Even just looking at a photo can remind you of things that happened the day it was taken, maybe small details like what you ate that day, or of a memory with friends or family that you forgot. This is why photography is special, as a photo is like a powerful tool that can remind you of so many details with just a glance, and by taking photos you’re also creating a timeline of your life so far.

  What is special when looking at an old photo? Photos no matter what, never change, even when you or others change. These photos allow you to see how you’ve changed and how you’ve improved yourself, and with photos, it makes seeing those changes much easier, in appearance and emotion. This is another reason why photography is special, as it allows you to notice changes about yourself, and with old photos they will always capture the person you were in the past

  To sum it up, photography is special for many different reasons. From capturing emotions and details to making a sort of timeline of your life and seeing how you’ve transformed into someone new. Take some time to look at your past photos, see how much you’ve changed and grown, and keep snapping photos.
