This is something that was passed to me years ago when I first started out in photography 1993.
It made a lot of sense to me and most people might not realize the importance of photography.
"I AM PHOTOGRAPHY"
I turn back the pages of the Book of Memory. I bring you Thoughts of Past Years & Old-time friends. I keep forever Green the Happy Hours of Childhood. I dull the Pangs of Bereavement & blunt the Edge of the Grim Reaper's Scythe. I carry the News of the World, and bring you Visions of far Distant Lands. Our modern Civilization is largely dependent on my efforts.Though Men may Pass and Empires crumble to Dust, my Magic will Preserve their Likeness for future Generations. Not Purse proud, I am within the Reach of All. I solve mysteries impenetrable to Mortal Eyes, I ferret out the Criminal when other means have failed. I illumine the Pages of History, and make Learning possible for the Multitude. Born instantaneously in a Ray of Light, I become everlasting. As necessary in War as in Peace, I am Man's Servant, and yet his Master. I am an Art & yet a Business. I am Photography
