Photography and its entire components had evolved throughout the years after its invention.
In layman's term, photography in its simplest meaning has something to do with capturing the moments of life one cannot pass by.
It could be a literal interpretation of 'carpe diem' or seizing the day.
Besides to its practical application, photography had been for years, a 'canvass' of arts or artistic expression.
This kind of art is known as Pictorialism.
Photography aesthetically speaking has been always discussed on a regular basis, especially those who are into arts.
Though photography as an art is still debatable, photography is potentially another medium of expression of beauty.
Photographs: 'Hard Copies' of the interpretations of reality Before digital cameras flooded the market, cameras were dependent of films.
Films served a sort of a memory card or stick and were more sensitive in some condition (exposure to light, heat etc.
could ruin the process of documentation).
Although films had limited capabilities in terms of storage, they provided the outcome of photography after being developed.
After being developed or process into hard copies, images cannot be altered unless; it would be edited digitally or with the use of advance technology.
Photographs sizes The process of developing years ago may take some time.
As a customer, one could request the size or sizes of the outcome of the pictures.
The standard measurements are in inches.
As per experience, the normal size would be the 3R or 3.
5x5 inches.
Other available sizes (in inches) are 4R (4x6), 4D (4.
5x6), 5R (5x7), 6R (6x8), 8R (8x10), S8R (10x15), 11R (11x14) S11R (11x17), 12R (12x15) and S12R (12x18).
Standard size for professional photographers and make up artists' portfolios is 11x14.
However, usual model portfolios are measured at 9x12.
Some photo shops include developing panoramic shots or views which have an 8x20 measurement.
Importance of Photography Historical accounts and documentation would never be the same without the usage of photography.
Since its discovery, man was able to document properly the important events, significant milestones and the usual daily happening through a single shot.
As the famous song expresses, a single picture could really 'paint' a thousand words in just a single moment.
The challenge in technology right now is with regards how to preserve these precious moments of the past for the benefit of the future.
The dawn of digital technology, through the ingenuity of scientific research, had given an indication that everything is possible.
With these advances, everybody has a reason to smile as just say 'cheese' in front of a camera.
