Photography

Life is short and our experiences fade into distant blurry memories over time. Long ago people tried to capture their lives and experiences by drawing and painting pictures so that they and generations into the future could see a depiction of what life was like through their eyes. But illustration is open to interpretation and doesn’t always look very realistic. Thankfully, given not everyone has the skill and talent to be a great illustrator, photography was invented. The technology of photography has become better and better over the years. From grainy black and white images to the sharp, digital colour photos of today, everyone now has the ability to capture life’s most important and fun moments in crystal clear, realistic photography. Here we present some of the best, the worst, the most dramatic and the most hilarious that photography offers today. All very different, but all very, very real. Enjoy.
