National Photography Day 2025

Yeah. One of those other failed endeavors of mine was photography.

I once thought I was going to be the next Ansel Adams — you know become renoun fetching exhorbinant fees for my work.

Didn't happen.

Today is National Photography Day aka National Photo Day.

It originated around 1837 in France.

It is observed each August 19 and is the photographers moment in the sun.

Though an unofficial holiday, the day does provide impetus for those who snap pictures to display and be praised for their work.

In this day of digital photography and everyone sporting a cell phone with camera capabilities I dare say the real "camera" may fall by the wayside.

I hope not.
