Abstract

From the first photograph taken by NiƩpce which took eight hours to expose, to modern digital photographs which take less than a second to process, photography has continuously afforded us glimpses into the lives of the photographers. The capture of the light of those particular moments also captures, in a sense, the flashes of inspiration or the stirring of our hearts. We use photographs to communicate with one another sometimes the most complex and indescribable of emotions. Nowadays, cameras are so ubiquitous in American daily life that they have become another language, a visual one, by which we make meaning in our lives.
