Dear All

What a nice discussion to have !
Still pictures have very important place in our lives.
Our memories carry mostly still pictures of our good/ bad past.
Not the video's.

Its the expressions on face of the people in past and present, the beautiful and Ugly landscapes we have seen.
The close ups of the birds,butterfiles, flowers and animals, sunrises and sunsets, rivers, lakes ,oceans pictures that stuck in our memories.

The most popoular hobby till today remains taking pictures and getting oneself photographed !

Earlier they used to paint pictures, we do today within a fraction second.

Although mediums of taking pictures have changed, the fundamentals of photography remain the same.
