Pixels of Ourlives

Based on historical records, photography emerged from the idea of paintings. From the Greek word phos meaning light and graphe means drawing or art, therefore, drawing with light.

According to Knowledge Power, when humanity finally realizes the importance of Science, they managed to built camera obscura by 1800s. With this the photographer must be good at drawing. After taking each shot the photographer needs to trace the images. As time goes by, through man's ingenuity we have now the digital cameras with varied sizes, shapes, brands and power lenses which can capture the image in an HD effect. From black-and-white to colored pixels, we can see the beauty of life and its message it brings.

Then we have the camera cellular phones. Each mobile brand nowadays have a built-in cellular phones for convenience. Instead of carrying your mobile phones and cameras at the same time, the pioneers introduced a combined precision of mobile  and camera, thus we have a camera phones.

I admit at first having  a camera was a waste of time. At that time I treated photography as baseless arts. It originates from my complete dislike of arts. Being born to Architectural parents and not inheriting their drawing skills makes me inferior. But I guess as people grow up, their perception also changes.









Way back in 2012, we have this professor at the graduate studies who incorporates the value of photography in our lives. He emphasizes that our lives are short so we need to feel the moment, capture it, relieve the memory. So he taught us a bit about photography, he teaches us to play with the lights, know your angles, know when to shoot and when not to shoot.

So I made my bucket lists and photography is part of it. I am glad to know that even though I am a late bloomer in photography and not a pro, I am able to capture the objects which I like to capture be it using my camera phone or our Mother's Canon.

Next on my list will be a Canon DSLR, I want to improve my photography skills and better capture of every moment of our lives.

The pixels of each camera may express the things we want to present through pictures. It takes guts, patience, hard work and reinvention of thy self in discovering our best potentials.
