STILL LIFE

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. – Dorothy Lange

The art and science of creating images which is photography has become a novelty, thanks largely to the digital age. Where in the past this craft was reserved for those that can afford the expensive process of acquiring the gadget and printing the images, this has now become more accessible to a wider range of enthusiasts – from the professionals who earn their keep from it to the budding teenager still learning the ropes of the art.  

Modern photography has indeed opened up boundless opportunities for everyone where one can shoot and store hundreds of photos at just about no cost and achieve great quality and customize the images to suit one’s creativity. Technology has provided the means to restore much loved photos that has withered in the passing of time. 

Technology aside, photos in whatever form from traditional film or digital is one of our priceless possessions. It chronicles our life and is our tangible connection to the past. As my teenager incessantly beckons whether we are on travel or just whiling away at home – forget everything else except the camera, you’ll never want to miss to capture life as it unfolds.
