Roles of photography in our everyday life

Photographer

We all know that photography being a profession for photographers is a source of income for them, but to the rest of us who don’t earn a living from the profession, of what importance is photography to us?

This article Is to enlighten or in some other cases, refresh our minds as to how important photography is in our everyday lives.

Photography collegiate or links us up with our past; places we’ve been to, people we’ve met — maybe friends we grew up with, old schoolmates and so on. It is relatively easy to connect to our past with the aid of photography. They give us clues as to how our lives were before we either grew up or moved out from a certain location. In most of our homes here in west Africa, photographs or “photo album” as it is usually called are kept as archives or relics for each member of the family. We get to know our lost relatives like grand parents through the help of photographs.

Important events are never forgotten with the help of photography. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, excursions, road trips are all recorded to remind us of those beautiful moments.

Imagine a world where there were no pictures to remind us of those happy events or rather, let’s not imagine. Now with photography, we can look back to cherish those old times and remember how they made us happy.
