What is photography the art or practice of taking and processing photographs. However, what does photography mean to people who enjoy it and for the people who take photos for people to enjoy. David Campany wrote a book called “On photographs” he says in the book that “Photographs are often thought of as ways to hold things still, to calm the flux of a restless world. They allow us to gaze at fixed appearances, for pleasure or knowledge, or both” what this mean is that many people can enjoy photography in many ways like learning something from a photograph or just simply enjoying the photo someone has taken because of natural beauty, meaning behind the photo, or what the photo means to that person.  
Editing in photography is more common now then it was 50 years ago this is because of technology advances, however editing photos could be seen as a false art, a photo has been edited to look better than the real thing, however. When artist paint they can overdo things like make the sky bluer or paint a house smaller or bigger than the real thing so editing can be seen as the photographers view on what they want to show the world.  
 

Over the years photography has gotten increasingly better cameras have gotten better and smaller than cameras from 50 years ago however some photographers seem to like the aesthetic of older cameras then newer cameras. This is strange but also its understander because. Some people like holding on to the old thing which is completely normal but is industrial always developing and getting better and better when there’s a big portion of people that stick by old cameras.  

 

In photography there are different types of photographers some like taking pictures of nature, some like taking photos of people, some like taking pictures of citys or towns, and some like to take pictures of everything this is good because photographers can be more divers in there work, say if they started to not want to take pictures of nature they could start to take pictures of people they can take photos of mostly anything there mind comes to. So I guess this could be a reason why people love photography because it can be different everyday if you want it to be or it can be the same its up to the photographer.
