Taking a picture of a picture and just taking of picture in general is something so common today. It’s no surprise to see somebody instantly go through their bag and pull out their camera or walk around with one in their hand. It’s almost like we were wired that way, to take photographs of everything. Nowadays a picture is taken of everything from something we see in the street that we like, landscapes, a car, family members and even strangers. I think there are several reasons for that. One of the main reasons is that as human beings we want to have a part of what we enjoyed seeing and preserve it. For example we see a painting that we like and we take a picture to take home a souvenir and to be able to look at it. A picture is something we can keep and look at it over and over again. Every time we look at it, it gives us that joy and sense of awe we had when we first noticed what we photographed. Furthermore a photo is taken because a picture tells the truth, that photograph portrays the real thing because no one can alter it, it is what it is. Taking pictures may also have to do with the fact that life especially here New York City is fast paced; we take a picture and move on. Then when we have time we look through the photos and analyze and even notice things we didn’t notice before. Taking a picture of a picture is something going on all over the world, no one can change that.

I couldn’t have said it better myself! Taking pictures is like playing the game I SPY. You start to notice the minor details and begin to acknowledge them. It represents a vivid image that can be used to describe to someone instead of just looking at something and two weeks later or so, trying to describe it to someone from your memory. As mentioned above, New York City is a fast paced environment and we tend to miss the bigger picture. Thankfully, the improvement of taking pictures evolved to such a magnificent level, that we can keep taking and taking, and never truly be fulfilled with the amount of photographs we own.
taking pictures is like having a memory in your hand instead of trying to remember a good moment we just look at it from the pictures we took . I learned that photography is a visual language of what the eye sees. just like an artist draws what he sees so does the photographers draws what he sees with his camera. truly amazing!!!!!
