Last evening, I posted a message on
Twitter & Facebook and received countless responses to it. It read,
‘Everybody’s become a photographer.’
A photographer by profession agreed to
the statement saying that she doesn’t feel like she is into a specialized
profession anymore with almost everyone being able to deliver medium to very
good quality pictures.
I feel that the urge to ‘capture the
moment’ as is – when it happens – is something inherent to all of us. While we
do have those special moments in our memory all the time, an album or a video
of it is a completely different experience. Today, thanks to technology, more
and more people are able to click pictures, though I am not too sure how great
the quality of those pictures is.
I have used several phones with camera
claiming huge resolutions and clarity. However, on looking at the final output,
I have always been left disappointed. Such was the story with the phone that I
was using just before the Nokia 701. Luckily, the very next day, I left for
Mahabaleshwar with my family. While my parents were worried that we didn’t
carry the camera, I was already confident about 701. After spending three days
in one of the most scenic locations in Maharashtra, when we got back home I
transferred the images and videos on to the computer.
Result: for the next one hour, we left
everything aside and relived the memories of the entire trip. None of our
family holidays have such beautiful memories.
