The reason photography got its start is because Niépce had thought: “There must be some way to capture the exact images we see with our eyes and within our minds?” Was there any way to capture family members, a beloved one, or good friends? What about the various things we come across in daily life, or the scenery we can see in this very moment? This undeniable human yearning was the impetus that pioneered photography. Thus, my simplest theory regarding photography: “Photographs are memories.”
