What is Camera Day all about??

All people regardless of age, nation, race or culture, cherish fond memories. To be reminded on such poignant moments, pictures are taken.One of my favourite quotes,

“People say that a time machine can’t be invented, but they’ve already invented a device that can stop time, cameras are the world’s first time machines.” – Rebecca McNutt

Needless to ask, but can you imagine a world without cameras now? For many of you, a camera is your most prized possession and therefore the love of your life. Can you enjoy any event without taking pictures? The mere thought is enough to scare us. So, to summarize this essential part of our lives now, June 29th every year is celebrated as Camera Day.

This day celebrates photographs, the camera and its invention. Photography is all about celebrating the gift and ability we have to communicate through this powerful visual medium. It’s an art which has revolutionized the way we see and perceive the world. 

Why do we love photography so much?

A camera has emerged to be an irreplaceable tool which beautifully captures and replicates life's memorable experiences and moments. For emotional beings as us, this little medium lets us freeze all those special and unforgettable moments and document our lives.

Something ordinary turns unique once you are behind the lens. Photography gives us a different perspective of the world.

Cameras give us the power to explore various aesthetic possibilities offered by color, light, form and shape. With this dainty tool, you can express yourself-your opinions, interests and beliefs. And now with an overabundance of options and various technological advancements, you can explore a multitude of ways to capture and represent reality or rather bend it too. And it is not just about photos, but cameras find application in security management, surveillance and traffic monitoring. The utility of a camera is ample and wide-ranging.

Keep on capturing those timeless beautiful memories. No-one can take it away from you. Have a look at our Camera competition on our Facebook page, Prestige Academy, and stand a chance to win.
