Photography is an important medium of storytelling and also the most reliable tool to preserve the past. It also serves as a tool of education and information.
The day celebrates the art, craft, science, and history of photography. No doubt since the early 19th century, photography has become an important part of life, an ever-increasing medium of personal expression and appreciation for countless people across the world.
