Let me talk to you from my personal experience; I have been a photographer for 17 years now, I knew pictures were important no question about that but I didn't really understand the value of a picture until my dad suddenly passed away on April 2021...
Now more than ever I understand the importance of pictures because they are all I have left of my dad. Pictures and videos that remind me of the beautiful memories I had with him...
Not only that but photography was one of my dad's businesses and he taught me everything I know about photography, video and running a business.
