What was the importance of photography?

Answer 1

There are many reasons why Photography is important. First, it can be proof that something actually happened (i.e. landing on the moon). Second, it can keep memories alive, when a person can look at a photo and remember that moment. Photos can also show someone something they themselves can not see. It can show something that is happening all over the world, even if you are not there. It is an other mean of communication, to send a pic. of your kid to a relative. To see the face of a dead ancestor, or a person when they were 10 years younger.
