Since my family was financially unstable during my youth, they were not able to afford a camera or even a photo shoot, which resulted in a lack of photographs that proved my adolescence. Consequently, as I got older I became quite obsessed with photography and “it’s beauty to capture the beautiful moments of life”. Since my first social media platform account in 2006, I began posting up photos from my life. Eventually, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat were introduced into our social media based society and naturally, I joined the bandwagon. I joined for the sole purpose of sharing my pictures so that I could get feedback. In one particular occasion, I shared an experience in the form of a meme and it became an overnight sensation. I could not believe that a picture I had posted, was getting the attention of thousands of people. My respect for social media platforms increased after that because I realized we are capable of spreading positive/informative messages in the form of photographs more efficiently and effectively than we think.]]> 2017-01-29 22:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kguez/7d1wrt4r0ngg/wish/150122571
