ASHISH EDITZ

Storm King Mountain on the Hudson River, New York, by William Henry Jackson, 1880. Restored by John Morzen, 2016.

Since the early 19th century, photography has become an ever-increasing medium of personal expression and appreciation for countless people around the world.

A photograph has the ability to capture a place; an experience; an idea; a moment in time. For this reason, it's said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Photographs can convey a feeling faster than, and sometimes even more effectively than words can. A photograph can make the viewer see the world the way the photographer sees it.

Photographs even transcend the passing of time - a photo from a hundred years ago can still be as appreciated now, as it was then. A photo taken tomorrow, can still be just as appreciated by others in a hundred years' time.

Join the World Photography Day celebration, this August 19th. Go out and capture a moment. ❤
