There're 3 main basic interest why we loves photography:
1. Remembering
Said photographer Aaron Siskind: “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
Capturing the moment to remember it has always been one of the main motivations and desires, be it in writing, drawing or through photographic images. No matter if the memories are staged or spontaneous, photography helps us to remember events, mood, atmosphere, location and – last but not least –the people involved.
2. Sharing
Sharing photos with people could have lots of joy and happiness. It helps to bring back those great memories with all the people you love. In today’s connected world, we could share the joy anytime, anywhere and anyway such as online services as Facebook, Flickr, Picasa and etc.
3. Self-expression
Photographers can also turn into artists that creatively express themselves, generate a certain mood using photography or use the photos they have taken as a basis for post-processing.
In analog photography these goals were accomplished with ink, paint, airbrush or a simple “pointed scraping tool” as it was used in Polaroid Art, where the photographer dissects and then scratches the emulsion of their instant photos to create a desired effect.
Nowadays there is a slew of digital tools available, most importantly Photoshop on the desktop and mobile offerings such as iPhone-favorite Hipstamatic.
