by Jill Riley and Nilufer Arsala
August 19, 2024
One of the best ways to add to a story or preserve a memory is to take a picture. The medium of photography has changed since dark rooms and chemicals, and while those tools still exist, it’s easier now than ever to take a digital photograph and share with your community.
Today is World Photography Day. It’s a worldwide celebration of the art, craft, science, and history of photography in all its forms. You can celebrate by taking a picture and posting to social media with the hashtag #WorldPhotographyDay. Let’s get in on the fun with music!
