Whenever I'm in the process of getting a new phone my whole decision is based on how good the camera is. I think the decision of adding cameras to cell phones was the most valuable and convenient technology. Growing up i have always loved taking photos and videos because photographs are moments you can capture and it's history to share over a life time. I have always enjoyed taking photographs of interests of mine, special times with family and friends, events and amazing places I have been, I now can always look back of those memories and remember how I felt at that given moment. Photographs gives us the opportunity to tell a story, express how we feel, and be able to use for visual documentations.
I have always enjoyed old photos because I believe with old photos you can feel the history that's behind it and they also seem longer lasting because there was a lot more work in order to develop that photo.
Today you can take a picture and change everything about it. I know a lot of people who are into changing the original photo and making many enhancements. I honestly have never used those tools to change a photo because changing the original takes the whole meaning out of it and doesn't mean much anymore. Older pictures have much more meaning because they didn't have the technology or sources to make any changes. As I read in another classmates post she mentioned once you start taking things out; adding; or compressing. .
the photo becomes art not a photo anymore.
I checked out many of the suggested sites and apps on how you can enhance and become creative with your photos but I still feel against it because a change photo doesn't hold the value behind that moment as much as the original. Obviously in this class and other classes it is required to enhance photos which is fun and exciting to explore are the tools to make that photo so much more creative or better.
If everyone and everything was perfect in a photo then it wouldn't have as much meaning behind it because photo's captured at surprise hold emotion, excitement, and joy.
