As a child, at night just before falling asleep I'd imagine what it'd be like to travel alone and explore the world. I'd imagine myself carrying nothing more than a backpack and traveling through forests and cities, valleys and mountaintops and exploring ruins and great monuments. Though my travels haven't yet been as adventurous as I had imagined back then, I've been lucky enough to explore some great places. Apart from a group of crazy friends, my Camera has remained my best travel companion.
As I wander, I capture moments and savor life a second at a time.
Long have these slices of memories been sitting in folders.
Today, a little door appears for them to come out and play.
Happy World Photography day.
Below are a few of my favorite quotes about Photography :
"Life is like a Camera...
Just focus on what's important and capture the good times.
Develop from negatives.
And if things don't work out, just take another shot."
―Author Unknown
“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”
― Marc Riboud
“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”
― Susan Sontag
“A photograph is a moral decision taken in one eighth of a second.”
“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
― Ansel Adams
“A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know.”
― Diane Arbus

The quotes looks great! I will surely celebrate this day together with my friend who is a photographer. I think we should pick up some great gifts for photographers on this day.
