20 August 2010: World Photography Day celebrated on August 19 each year is about remembering how special a photo can be. We may take our photographs for granted but the next time we go through our photographs, we realize that those precious moments cannot again be captured, only shared, and with precious memories and feelings that only photographs can convey.

 

Early cave paintings show that man has always wanted to record himself, his activities, and the environment around him. Painters of great renown have abounded through the centuries and have left remarkable visual Histories of our journey through time. While the camera was not invented until the 19th century, the basic elements of a camera had been known for hundreds of years.

 

As early as the 1400’s it was documented that inserting a lens in a hole would produce a crisper, clearer image. The technology which was known as “camera obscura” was used by artists to sketch objects more quickly. In 1847, the first ever photograph was taken by Joseph Niepce. A few years later, Louis Daguerre, a Frenchman painter for the Opera, experimented with various methods to try and secure a permanent image.

 

 

 

Photography took many twists and turns as people experimented with chemicals to make the image capturing more practical. When photography processes were finally perfected enough for common use, portrait studious were set up and for a very small cost, people could get their portraits made. Finally, even working class people could now afford a family portrait.

 

Photography is the one of the best avenues for expressing one’s emotion and style in portratying life’s priceless feelings. Old photographs reach out through the years and grants us glimpses into that one moment in time that cannot be forgotten or taken away.

 

Photography brings families and people closer together and is another way of building bridges and of feeling the presence of a loved one or someone we know. With photographs we share our world with the rest of the world and if a picture paints a thousand worlds, it also has the influence to make the world somehow smaller for everyone to live and fit in.

 

Bellevision congratulates all the photographers of the world, for the great work they are doing.

The great advances in photographic technology, equipment, technique, availability and affordability has created the interest in this art, spawning billions of offerings from novices to professionals. Amazing change from the day my first photograph was taken: a black and white portrait at Balco Sudio at Hampanakatte, Kodial. I doubt if this studio exists now, and if it has kept pace with change.
