What is photography to me?
Why I took it as a hobby?
As the song goes... If the pictures paint a thousand words then I paint you...
Photography has many different meaning for some people it is an art of expressions. Some say it is a hobby which helps to keep the evidence of the scene and beauty of memories. It enriches treasures of memories and help built confidence.
It is a noun defining to art, hobby or profession of taking photographs, and developing, printing the film or processing the image digital array. It is producing pictures using camera. It is the process of recording images by exposing light-sensitive film or array to light or other forms of radiation. It is also use light to make pictures.
To me photography means a special way to record events and preserve or hold memories of life. It is also a way of holding back to special moment to remember in the future. We surely wish to keep a photographic history of our journey in this life.
Art photography - photography made for artistic rather than documentary or commercial reasons. It includes both objective and manipulated images and can be involve purely photographic.
It is something that you do to make yourself happy and proud of your talent. To make something preserve the beauty and image as long as the picture exist. It will make somebody happy and smile specially when you people wonder and totally catch the attention or give people some knowledge of your unexceptional output. Something that is rare and that you can bring to the people the image that is very hard to find. It is very delightful to catch an alluring angle in everyday lives or in an unexpected time and event. It's very important to be ready and knowledgeable to how to catch photos, there are limitations and rules on photographing. Lots of people just do it and catch image without respect to the subject. I say they are camera carriers alone not a photographer. When taking photos subject should be informed and agree to pose especially if there are human. You can just point your camera to anything.
Limitations should be remembered to respect the subject or object to the topic. Photos should be in purpose of beauty, education, inspiration, decency, love and sincerity. Taking photo is fun and yet inspiring to everyone who view the masterpiece. Photos should make people think positive and inspire them to do something good to the world and themselves never to give negative thoughts and disturbed mind that might result to tragedy or big mess.
There are different types of photography:
• Landscape or scenic – probably all beauty of nature without any human in it.
• Plant – plant is very relaxing subject specially flowers taking photo of them and catching unexceptional beauty and characteristic are more fun and rewarding.
• Human- tasking photos of people are fun too, very exciting actually, portrait individual on their best and most candid smile are a success on the photographer side.
• Animal- by taking photo without disturbing and cage on it describing their true nature is great photography of animal.
• Still life- it is a photo of some object arranges and put light to catch the good angle of objects beauty.
• Panoramic photography – it is by taking several pictures in a same locations and putting them together to create a panoramic view.
Photography is to be done in a good reason. Set good limitations for the better work result. Photographer should have rules preserve privacy of others and always respect of others opinion.
Photography to me is a great hobby because it makes me feel confident and proud to preserve images of beauty and compile them to the future use or just a collection of good photo.
Photography is a great hobby since it shows a good art; art of capturing good angle of beauty, even the ugliest thing can get a good angle of photograph and can catch attention of the viewers.
Photography Hobby is wonderful and is nice its useful too, compiling photos of child birth, the first smile of your child is a wonderful moment to capture and put a nice art style for him to see when he grow up. Everybody will love the beauty captured in a small piece of photo paper or even in big screen of you television or a beautiful frame in your wall.
Photography are good piece to relax and reminisce the past of our life, to remember the story of childhood, story of friendships, happy moment with our family or development of our life and achievements.

How To Submit Articles Effectively For SEO
Today, no one can deny the fact that article submission has become a big trend in internet marketing to improve website's popularity on the net. There are thousands of articles, books and forum entries showing that submitting your article to as many article and ezine directories (article hosting sites) is the best thing you can do to increase valuable targeted traffic to your web site, and quickly grow your site's backlinks. In this article, you can find some ways that can help you increase the effectiveness as well as facilitate the process of your article submission.
* Well preparation before your submission: Prepare a short abstract and a list of keywords for your article. Not all article directories will ask for them, but when they need, make this abstract and the list of keywords ready to copy and paste. Besides, you may also prepare several different versions of your articles to prevent duplicate content recognition from search engines. Just replace some words by synonyms then you will have an identical article with readers but different one with search engines. Next, gather all the information which is required by most submission sites including: title, author name, pen name, word count... for author account creation. And last but not least, make sure you have reread and corrected all misspelled words or grammar errors before submitting your article because you will lose credibility with a lot of mistakes in your work.
* Making your resource box effective: This is the first reason of writing the article because it's the resource box which is going to bring targeted traffic and backlinks to your own website. Keep it short, concise and include the most important information - your name, a few attractive sentences about what your site offers and the most prominent link (URL) to your website. If an article directory supports HTML code (or Rich Text Editor support), don't type your URL in its entirety. Use it with the anchor text (keyword) that you want to build backlinks for. With different directories, you should vary this anchor text which points to different pages in your website. Of course you must accept the policy of article directories, do not overuse or abuse with your resource box.
* Using clear format for your article when submitting: Write an article as simple as possible with a clear structure. It's better to avoid complex HTML tags, images, affiliate links and special characters. Make certain to well check the guidelines of different article directories and follow the minimum or maximum article length, general layout and style. If you are allowed to use HTML (or Rich Text Editor), you should use some basic tags such as (b)old, (i)talic, (br)eak line, (p)aragraph, (a)link to make your article more attractive. Besides, pay attention to your headline since it is the most efficient thing you can do to get your article read. In the headline, you should highlight a problem or state a solution that your readers are looking for.
* More is better: There are thousands of article directory on the Internet. So the more directories you submit your article to, the more backlinks you can get. It's better if you have prepared a list of all article directories appropriate to your article. With the keywords "article submissions", "articles directory" or "free articles", you can find on search engines thousands of article directories welcoming you to submit your own articles. On the Internet, besides of big articles directories, there are a lot of small directories which you cannot find out with the above popular keywords. Most of them are based on the same software such as Article Dashboard, Article Beach,... so with the keyword "Powered by Article Dashboard" you can get a list of all article directories which use Dashboard System.
* Checking your article's exposure and maintaining your list of article directories for the next submission: Almost all article directories are based on human editors. They need time to read and approve (or reject) your submitted articles. So, the appropriate time to check your article's exposure is about 2-3 weeks after submissions. You can check by either using search tools (if exists) on article directory or using quick indexing and updating search engines such as MSN. This step is very important to make sure your article's format is correct and the resource box is included. In addition, this is also the step to evaluate the article directories: are they still managed or abandoned? Are your articles suitable for these sites? The collected information from these checks will help you maintain a reasonable and useful list of article directories for the next submission.
In this article, I've provided you with some basic but effective tips to come along your article marketing campaigns. Article writing and submission bring benefits to all authors so it should not be underrated. If your articles are not written, and submitted effectively, plenty of efforts can be wasted.
Happy writing and submitting articles!
A Morning Thoughts
By: Annette
When I open my eyes, in the morning,
And then say a little prayer,
When I remember yesterday, in the morning,
I murmur and say, what a tragic day,
But when I open my window, in the morning,
A Bright sunshine smile and glow!
When I always remember, in the morning,
God's grace and blessing,
When I always feel, in the morning,
The pain and sadness of yesterday,
But when I open my door, in the morning,
A Brightness of the future is smiling!
When I smile or prawn my face, in the morning,
When I saw myself in the image, in the morning,
I stop and think, oh my God! I'm aging!
And then, I change my mind and smile again!
When I heard a whistling kettle, in the morning,
When I smell brewed coffee, in the morning,
And I run rushing to the kitchen,
I say, "oh my! What a beautiful day!"
