Imagine a world without photographs. Describe what this world would be like. Being someone that has always had a love for photographs, I cannot picture the world without! Photographs help us look back upon moments in order to help us remember the events visually. Without these visual aids, we would quickly lose the sight of these good and bad times in our life. History books wouldn't be the same, childhood memories would be much less clear. But although it is hard for someone my age to imagine a world without photographs, it is probably much easier for someone that is much older. Photographs are very new to the history of the world. Before their existence, the world had to rely on verbal and written recollections of the past. My opinion is that although this did work, photography has made memory recalls just that much better! Not to mention the endless possibilities of the art aspect of photography.
