A World Without Photographs

When I imagine a world with no photographs, at first glance nothing really changes. We would still have our eyes to take in the beauty around us. One thought that flashed through my mind was the world could be better this way. I believe that sometimes people tend to focus too much on life through the camera lense. It is good to take a step back every once and a while, breath deeply, and just soak in your surroundings. Slowly but surely the negatives of life without pictures started flowing in. My life personally, would be sad. I always enjoy looking back at pictures from the past, even on those awkward middle school years. For me, one simple picture can bring back a million memories. When I think about the entire world without any pictures, I get chills. All the history and information that can lie in one photo, would be gone. We wouldn't know about the world around us unless we could go out and see it ourselves. So much knowledge would be lost. A world without photographs is a world without its past.
