HISTORICAL archives are full of them, advertisements need them, we pose for them, frame them and most importantly enjoy looking at them and taking them. We are all exposed to photographs and cameras. We have all seen the old photographs of our parents and their parents when they were young and even some of when we were cuter & younger then now.
As we click through the years, we gather more than just 6x4 cellulite slips of paper, we collect and store memories. Memories of birthdays, sunsets, holidays, friends, family and our favourite things.
Cameras of all shapes and sizes are a major aspect of our lives. Everyone of us who handles a camera contributes to this important art form and yes we are all in a way photographers.
If you have an interest in photography and wish to learn more then check out the Midland Photography Club.
