Anyone can do it!

Photography goes all the way back to the early 1840s when cameras were first introduced in France. During the time, photographs were only used as an artistic hobby for wealthy people. According to Susan Sontag "That age when taking photographs required a cumbersome and expensive contraption -- the toy of the clever, the wealthy, and the obsessed -- seems remote indeed from the era of sleek pocket cameras that invite anyone to take pictures." Once cameras got into the hands of the middle and lower class, it became much more than that. Overtime, it has become easier and easier to retrieve memories. Today, anyone with a smartphone is able to take a photo and view it immediately. Because of this, photography has become the main source of evidence. Therefore you are expected to take a picture whenever you are engaged in something exciting.
