Photography in our Lives

-

 Photos have been around for almost 200 years. They're used all over the world to capture significant events and re-live beautiful moments. Without photography, we wouldn't be able to hold on to important moments and cherish them forever. Why do we need photography?


Photos tell us what's important to us. We take pictures of certain events, like birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays, because they're important and we want to hold on to those memories. Photos show our personal story and the things we love.

Photos are also a part of our legacy. A picture can outlive the people in it and it can resurface anywhere many years later. Because of the picture, we can look at Grandma and Grandpa's wedding picture or Mom's first Christmas. We can also show how traditions came to be in a family. Pictures help us show the joy of celebrating the tradition and moves us to pass it down from generation to generation.

Photography is a complex language. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. In one picture, we can find so many emotions. A colorful rainbow can bring just joy while a grey storm and bring us sadness. Photos can also be used to express the emotions of the photographer. This can make the photo relatable to the viewer if they feel the same thing.

Photographs play an important role in everyone's life. They connect us to our past while reminding us of people, places, feelings, and stories. In the end, they help us learn who we are.

 I was reading an article when I came across this topic. There are many cultures throughout the world. With different cultures come different traditions and rituals.

For example, the Malagasy people of Madagascar celebrate Famadihana, a funerary tradition where the Malagasy people bring the bodies of their ancestors out of their crypts or dig them out of their graves and wrap them in new cloth. Families then carry the bodies through the streets and dance with them with live music. Famadihana might be a ritual that revolves around the dead, but it is actually as a joyful family gathering. The Madagascar people believed that the dead only completely joined the spirit world of their ancestors when their bodies decomposed completely. Since some bodies were not completely decomposed, they were believed to still be with the living. Some people might think this is weird or unsanitary because

1000 Piece Puzzle

 It was during the beginning of quarantine. I was bored because school was all asynchronous, and I had finished my homework for the week, so I decided to do a puzzle that I found lying around at home. I had done this 1000 piece puzzle before many times, but it was years ago, so I decided to challenge myself and finish the puzzle without looking at the picture on the box. It was really hard, but I somehow finished it in 4 days. I started off by picking out the corner and side pieces. The only challenge with those pieces was to figure which pieces connected with which because half of them were green while the other half were blue. Then I picked out all the blue and white puzzle pieces that represented the sky and cloud and put them together. Figuring that out took more than 2 whole days, oh boy! I then sorted out the green pieces that represented the grass and put them together. This was not too bad because I could figure out where each piece went based on the sun and whether there was a
