In a span of one generation, our intentions behind photography have altered drastically. Sharing photographs no longer requires someone to be in physical attendance, holding individual photographs and telling the story behind each one. Now, with technology, we can overlook the quality and capabilities of photography. We exist in a world where pictures require minimal effort; it is as easy as clicking the camera button on a cell phone. We are losing sight of the stories behind photography as we chase after our next popular Instagram or Facebook post. By revisiting our intentions behind taking a photograph, we can have a better understanding of what fulfills us.
