Mythos & Marginalia

life notes between the lines and along the edges


National Camera Day

Today we celebrate the glorious camera and all it does to document life as we know it. Some of us chose to celebrate this fabulous invention every day.
   At one time a complicated instrument involving a complex blend of science and the technical application of such, the camera is now as common as a feature on your mobile phone.
   The camera, in and of itself, is an object or tool, a conduit for images and imagination; an extension of both the eye and the mind.
   A camera gives us art.
   Utilizing a delicate balance of light and time, there is no other art form as immediate as photography. In a fraction of a second, we are capable of capturing our landscape and loved ones, creating photographs and memories that can last forever.
