Stay in the moment, they say. Live the moment, they insist. Ever thought why art is so important to us? Why the great philosophers, consider art as the only way to make certain someone's existence longer.  As a human who lives in a never-ending hunger of love and affection and also a knower of all, considers himself a best so far or maybe the best creation until the end of this universe, always had the desire to treasure these precious pearls called moments into the string of his lifeline forever.

We are stuck in this fleeting time zone in which no moment is similar to the previous one. Realizing this, our desire to preserve these moments reaches peak.

The best way to record these feelings and emotions in these moments is to take photographs.

Humans are emotional beings. Life keeps bringing out in us the finest and the worst.

We come across something that excites us, our most common reaction to it is to take a memorable photograph of it with the camera we have or even the mobile phone cameras that everyone has nowadays, these photographs are equivalent of what we saw or felt at that certain point of time.

These days it is so easy to just take out smartphones from our pocket and take photos of anything around us, whether it be meals that we eat, capture the perfect selfie, or to record countless precious moments of our life.

Modern technology has allowed us to save and share our favourite memories, making it easier to recall and reminisce. But has it always been this easier? We all know, it definitely hasn't been this way always and will not be the same in the future, thanks to wonders done by the human brain.

The story of photography is fascinating. It is the story of an art which took birth from human curiosity and an urge to seize the moment.

Photography is many things, depending on its application and the results you are expecting from it. It is used in the sciences as a valuable instrument to observe nature on different levels and wavelengths, and also plays impactful role in many others fields.

Over the centuries, humans have found different ways to express themselves.

After the discovery of photography, people started gaining knowledge of what photography can put forward and how it changed the way people communicated, represented, evaluated and understood the world around them. The way people can express themselves has been changing over the years with the various discoveries and advancement in the technology. There is no denying the fact that technology has affected literally all the spheres of human life. Hence, it also has affected the photography world and resulted in a visual explosion for the society.

Photography enhances our ability to identify different emotions at a certain instance. Photography persuades us to become so much more observant and be aware of the wonderful things that surround us in everyday life. More importantly, we start noticing meaningful things around us like connections, expressions, gestures, feelings and especially small mundane things that will make us glad in future that we experienced. It motivates us to experience more and even sometimes motivates us to enjoy things that we didn't love before.

In conclusion, Photographs let us pause and think on the times we have experienced before. All the special memories that we treasure are captured in all their beauty by pictures. They allow us to evaluate and compare how our lives have changed over the years or whether we have actually made the changes that we promised ourselves.
