photography is combination of machine, mind

"The most miraculous ritual of photography is combination of machine, mind and spirit that bring forth images of great power and beauty ." - Ansel Adams

On 19th august 1839 Jacques Mandie Daguerre made it possible to capture images with the help of light on a chemically coated plates. His method universally accepted as photography.Then Photography developed rapidly with the technical advancements and emerged as a expressive artistic medium and a powerful communication and artistic tool.
Photography is a visual language, it can touch and stimulate our deepest emotions, convey moods..share experiences and express abstract ideas. It explicit philosophy through memorable images .The ability to capture and fix a space and movement, details , tonal values and colors is unique to photography.
The photograph must speak for it self. The creative essence of an image has no language but its own.
The hyper sensitive camera eye can see the secrets of the deep sea and movements of far planets. It can capture the briefest events with micro second exposure and can take pictures of long period changes. it can record details of insects and can study the cells of human body.

Photography became a part of human life.. with out photography our experience of the world around us would be limited only what we could see..
Photography is an Art, Hobby, communication, documentation tool and more than that it is a business .. its a responsible challenging lucrative and glamorous profession.
