I was only 8 years old when my father handed me his small camera to capture a picture of him and mom. I did't know anything about it so my father had tell me how to hold the camera, when to click it and where to click it. The eight year old me found it very interesting the capture a real life moment in a camera. Seeing me smile at the picture my father walked to me inside this way we will never forget this day or this moment. it was then for the very first time I wanted to capture anything and everything that felt important to me. I started taking pictures of my home, my parents, and even my cute little doll.
My parents could clearly see a potential in me for photography because at the age of 11 I started to take pretty decent pictures. More than the quality of the pictures, what impressed them was how I was paying attention to the very little details of anything. so my father decided to give me a camera for my 12th birthday. soon after, I enrolled for a photography course along with my school, which in fact had a negative impact on my grades. But instead of being mad about it, my parents shifted with me to another school where photography was a part of my academic schedule and i couldn't be more thankful for it. I was the only girl excelling in photography which was a great impression in the teachers. Since then, i put a lot of effort to capture the little things i felt was more than little.
today I realise that photography is not merely capturing things that is right in front of you. it is much more than what you bring to a frame. it is about capturing in a little moment of the whole wide world, keeping them safe with in your camera. for me in my life camera is not just a digital device, it is a part of me which stores my life within. So people often forget to appreciate or understand how much of a miracle photography is. Every time our parents or anyone tell us to enjoy the moment for once instead of capturing it, let them know that you are storing the memory so that it can last longer. And it is not essential that all of your pictures have to be in the perfect angle, sometimes the most blurred pictures hold the best memories.
