“Picture worth a thousand words”

In a family picture, there must have enough information about the emotion, where, when, who and why. It is important to shows the information in the pictures so that after years, when you refer back to the photos that you had captured it flash back all your memories. The modern technology today allows us to change the information of the photograph. To be honest, this feature is good for commercial use not for family photo use. With the software to change the information from the picture it makes the picture worth nothing because the picture carries fake information. And the “word picture worth a thousand words” is meaningless.

Digital camera had replaced analog camera (film camera) in the modern days. This had allow the people to take thousands of photos without worrying that every click has a price to pay; despite in the old days, film camera cost average of RM 1.20 per click. In order to keep the memories, people will try to make a series of photos in an album to keep the memory. For example, my son is playing. I do not have to snap the scenario separately, such as snap a photo of the clock, the bicycle, the sister, and the café. I combine all together. It forms a sentence that “At 2.45pm, my son was enjoying on the bicycle in the café with the sister”. This photo was snapped from my cell phone. Then the balance I need to crop away those unwanted surrounding that does not bring the information to the sentence such as the customer on the right hand side. He/She is not related to the story.
