Why National Camera Day?

The National Camera Day is observed to enjoy the existence of Camera and its benefits. Cameras provide candid memories that make a glimpse of smile in our face by seeing the Old Photographs that we took with our friends and families. We would know value of a single photograph that we have taken with a person once he is no more with us. Normally we take so many selfie with our families and so that one can find number of pictures in our phones.

Often my mother would say me to share my entire daughter’s pictures to her mobile whenever she visits me. She would say that she could make her day by seeing the pictures when she is away from my daughter. What is needed more than this for a Grandmother? Isn’t! Thus, Camera plays a crucial part in our day-to-day life. Like this, many of us would have memories that could make a smile in our face and the camera is solely responsible for the smile.

Taking Photographs are not only for memories, it also acts as a rescuer at certain times. We can use as an evidence normally during driving, if our car is collided with someone’s. We can photograph a news item if we do not have a pen and note at the time. Some Digital Cameras acts as photocopiers. CCTV cameras are used for monitoring and being widely used in our country. Therefore, let us thank all our mobile Phones, Cameras today.
