My friend and I were going over old photographs of ourselves. From 0 to 60 years, our lives were imprinted, our physical beings documented, but most of all, our outlook in life evolved. These olden photos of family and friends are my life. I would not exchange it for anything else especially the photos of my little boy as he was growing up. Even though a few of these photographs are humiliating to him such as the well-known bearskin rug, washing in the tub, sitting on the potty trainer while sucking on the pacifier and reading the comics. It is those memories of impulsive acts remembered through pictures. It also includes the worldwide society and human's history aside from our ourselves. Photographs somehow resemble the past, present and perhaps in the future.
Everybody in our family loves taking pictures. In the house, our family has had cameras as long as I can recall. We even had set aside pictures as old as our great grandparents. I was particularly camera shy (still am), and apparently it was a challenge to everyone to try to get a photograph of me when I was older and could hide. However, they exist and at present I'm happy that they took them. When the Polaroid came along, in the sixties, everyone in high school had one.
Ever since the 4th and 5th centuries, the fundamental principles and optics have been existing and were illustrated by philosophers from China and Greece. Actually, the word 'photography' comes from the Greek words, 'photos' (light) and 'graphein' (to draw) as a method of recording images of light or related radiation on sensitive material. A lot has changed in photography through centuries of years, expounding on the questions on how images are placed into sheets. The chronicle is long and complex, altering with each creator and further learning.
One of its offspring, was a medium using a thin sheet of iron that Hamilton Smith produced in 1876. Called as tintypes, these several plates are still in existence as of today, specifically as celebrated impressions of our past. After that, was George Eastman. He designed a film in 1889 that is flexible, durable and could be spooled (bet you had no idea film is ancient). It transformed the process of taking images and documentations forever. Kodachrome followed in 1935 and color film was made available to the commercial market in the 1940's.
Now onward to the present, photography and cameras has been transformed by technology into any form you can imagine. Accessible in the market are camcorders, cell phones with cameras, and cameras for the internet - several so minuscule they fit in the palm of your hand. Even though I have a few of these, I still fancy a camera without the additional gadgets.
I bring my camera everywhere I go. Precious moments like a strange nightfall on the water, or something amusing, or a photo of special people assembling for pleasure and laughs, these are some of the moments that I failed to catch on film. I take very good care of my camera. I have a case that it is kept in when not in use; keep the batteries charged, and all the lenses, flashes, extra film in another bag. So, now, wherever I go, I am camera ready to capture the once-in-a-lifetime shot. You too?
