blog prompt #1

In a society where things quickly happen and are quickly forgotten, we utilize the art of photography to enhance our senses and remember what once was. A photograph tells a story to the onlooker who knows only a brief history or no history at all. If photographs did not exist, we would only live in the present with no knowledge of the past or the future. The phrase "What once was" wouldn't ever be used. People , places, and things would only be appreciated for what the contributed at the present moment. If we didn't have photography, the arts would be missing a key component.
