Someone did ask me before. Why do I like photography? The answer is simple.
The only difference with a gun and a camera is...the gun has a trigger, while the camera has a shutter.
How does a gun work? Easy. Plug in the bullets, aim, and shoot.
How does a camera work? Simple too. Insert battery and memory card, aim and shoot.
The similarities are there. Both simply just need to take aim, and shoot :)
A gun.
Then,
What are the differences?
Well, we all know what a gun and a camera can do.
Lets not go into the details first.
A gun, you must have a valid license to own it.
A camera, anyone with the ability to use it can own it.
A gun hurts the target.
While a camera captures the beautiful moment of the subject.
In a war, guns are used to wipe out the memories of a living.
In a war, cameras are used to capture the untold stories.
The Australia War Memorial. Why do we need war?
Now to the details.
A bullet ends life.
A great photo gives life to a person.
A bullet gives anger, sorrow, hate, revenge.
A photo captures the joy, the smile, the moments together, as well as the anger, sorrow and hate.
There's no turning back for a bullet fired.
A bad photo can always be edited, or deleted.
The names of deceased soldier during the war.
So, what can be concluded?
Memories of good times.
The bird will not be alive anymore if its shot with a gun.
The bird is still alive, and this photo shows us that the bird is beautiful!
Finally,
I like to hold my breath, look deep into the subject's eyes, and press the shutter.
P.S. I smile too every time you smile ;)
