Cool! see what technology can do for us nowadays not just to take pictures but also to edit those pictures so that those unwanted stuff taken can be removed easily too. Nothing compares to the feeling of able to take back the hands of time to those happy moments that we are with our loved ones.May it be friends or family those pictures gives us a glimpse of how happy we are when we are with our loved ones.Thanks for reminding me of those times too. And thank you for sharing your time and thoughts with me my friend

Me too! im just so fond of taking pictures from time to time. Makes me feel so relaxed and takes me back in time whenever im looking at my pics its more like a relaxation time for me to look at those pics from time to time. No wonder my dad really loves taking pics because he wants to remember all the happy moments that we shared and all the good places that weve been to as well. Thanks for joining and have a great day

Yes I do enjoy taking pictures. I like having my photo taken and I enjoy snapping shots of people and interesting things around me. A moment frozen in time which will always be brought back to life by memories. Thats a idea of how I view photos.
I wish there were photos of my siblings and myself when we were kids. I enjoy looking back at the pictures of yester year. I even snap photos with my mobile. Here is a photo of a butterfly which got trapped in my living room one night.

Just like my father, my uncle and some of my cousins they are pretty much into picture taking too. You see them posing and smiling all the time on the camera, im kinda picture shy thats why i dont tend to take pictures of my own although most of my friends take pictures of me most of the time. It brings us back to those happy times that we are still with out loved ones, and even though some of them are not with us anymore just merely looking at those pics makes us feel so good inside and out too

I can see that with your avatar.Although im not fond of taking pictures of myself i also enjoy taking pictures of just bout anything good that i see. For example if the moon is full and its very bright sometimes i try to take picture of it and just stare at that picture when i feel sad and when i see it the feeling that i felt that time when i saw the moon full will be back again. That also goes to the feeling that i feel when we took pictures of ourselves with our friends too. Now i understand why my father likes taking pictures alot. Happy mylotting too my friend

I love taking pictures, I got into photography when I first started my Poetry & Art website. I now aid myself with a very good mobile phone with a 8mp camera so that if I need/want to take a photo then I have the ability. I want to upgrade my normal digital camera too, but the wife doesn't see the point just yet.
Mainly I like taking family snaps. :)

Hi I love taking photos but usually I do it alone without my family members. They seldom take photos with me unless we go for a family outing. I will carry my digital SLR camera whenever I travel on the bus. If the bus journey is long, I will keep a lookout for nice scenery outside the window, and get my camera ready to snap the moment. However modern buses are all aircon, and there are reflection on the window pane when you try to take photos of scenery outside the window. Nevertheless I still like to take photos while traveling and to find workarounds to make the photos as great as possible.

Me too i dont give a damn if the bus is reflecting something i will still take some shots with me. I treat every picture as a very special treasure for me. Because they serve as time machines for me, they take me instantly back to the time where in im happy with my friends or having fun with family members too.When i feel so sad and lonely i try to look for those happy pictures of my friends and me so that somehow i will be feeling good afterwards again

It doesnt matter if our camera is expensive or not at all for as long as we capture those important moments of our lives i think thats what really matters. When you feel bad and lonely just look at those pictures and everything will be pretty much good for us. Pictures takes us back to those happy and good times that we had sometime ago thats why we should take some pictures as much as we can

And not to mention when we are sad and lonely we can just look at these pics and most of our worries will be gone if we see those happy faces and remember how good we feel that time too. I just wish i will be able to take back those times that i wasnt able to bring a camera with me to take good pictures of the places that ive been to before

A picture speaks a thousand words. It is. Pictures are good for documentation purposes besides being great as something to appreciate or to remember by. My personal blog, one I'm doing right now has very little words in it. It's a choice in making it a photo journal...

Cool and not to mention these photos takes us back in time too. Its more like a trip down memory lane, may it be happy or sad it gives us back to that certain time and as if we are still there at that particular time and place posing for that pic. Sometimes we tend to feel sorry or sad when we remember our failures in life but when we feel this way try to retrieve those pics of yours when with your friends and family it will give you a sense of happiness and your heart will be feeling good just merely thinking and remembering those special moments freezed by the camera

I take pictures if necessary. I never always taking pictures, I prefer to paint the atmosphere of the places I visited. I sometimes see my friends are always taking pictures wherever he is, and I felt that my friend did it is not useful. pictures taken at any time no see, sometimes just in store. I do not like doing things that are not useful. but the habits of different people. I am very understanding.

I agree. its always good to see and remember all sorts of happy moments captured by a picture its as if when your staring at the picture nothing could go wrong. When you miss the days where in friends are with you and the family is complete and pretty much happy just dont hesitate to look at those old pictures of your it will bring back good memories for sure

Thats exactly my point carolcash! We take this good and cute pictures of ours so that our future grandsons and granddaugthers will be able to appreciate the good things that we seen so far. We may not that active or strong anymore when they grow up but by showing them these pictures im pretty sure they will be able to appreciate them as much as we do

Your really into taking lots of pictures with you huh. I think thats a very good idea, so that you will be able to take back the hands of time whenever you want to browse and feel those happy moments again. Its going to be really exciting and happy to feel old faces and to enjoy lots of cool moments with loved ones

Well taking pictures is very funny because you can capture whatever you think is worth collecting. However ,I hate being took pictures, I think i am not very confident with my appearance,and being in front of a camera makes me feel disturbed. So when I am going sightseeing with my friends I am always the photographer!

Well just like you i dont like it as well when im the one whose being taken with those cameras. I feel so conscious of myself whenever someone is taking a picture of myself. And its ok for me if i will be the one taking the pictures though. I dont know why .But i think what matters the most is that we enjoy what we do and we feel happy when we look at those happy faces of our loved ones in the picture

Yes I do. And I dont just like taking pictures, I love it. It is one of my passion in life. I use to have a professional camera. But I sold it because it is a manual camera. Using this type of cam is so expensive and time consuming. So I replaced it with a digital cam. This way you can check your shots before developing it or perhaps do some adjustments in the lighting. Photography is a great way to store memories. I love to take pictures not just of people, but also of places, events, mountains, beaches, and other breathtaking sights. They say that a good photo is the one that makes the observer think and reflect on the photo. Photos can either make you laugh, cry, reflect, or help you recall events or people. Some say looking at meaningful photos is a good way to relieve stress. So go ahead, try photography. Who knows, you might like it.

Thats what im doing most of the time too whenever someone wants to take pictures of me thats my first line of defense but its a different story when i have my friends with me. Because i really enjoy taking pictures with them. Makes me feel so light and feels so good too. Being able to see them even through pictures takes away sad moments in my life. Happy mylotting!
