CONCLUSION

Nancy used to always say to me that what she likes most about photos is that they capture a moment that is gone forever, impossible to ever reproduce in the same way, the same feel just as the first one. It’s just magical.

I really do not think i am an introverted person to be frank, i feel comfortable and at peace most of the time because life’s short and trust me when i say no place is boring, when you’ve had a good night sleep and a pocket full of unexposed pictures/ memories you do not intend to share with the world. Lets just say its a personal gallery of some sort as it also shapes you.

Every photographer has a thingy for capturing the beauty in every other thing.

Some like to capture the beauty of nature, some like food, some like fashion and some simply like to click every single thing and capture the moments.

Whatever your preferences are, no matter whether you are using an Android phone or an iPhone, the app stores have got something for you.

Finally i just asked vivian to tell you just one thing about what she thinks about photography and this is what she said literally ” for me you just do not make a photograph 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 and the people you have ever loved together to express in one single photograph.
