I have been capturing my life and experiences through cameras for decades. I still have hundreds of camera prints and photo negatives with me. Once in a while checking on the photographs, brings back lots of memories and at times does provide me with the option of living through that moment for a short while. And now I capture videos as much as I do Photographs. Videos help me to share my experience with others and connect in many ways.

There is certainly a connection between human memory and photographs/videos.

Have you heard of Hippocampus? Hippocampus is a major component of the brain that plays a vital role in regulating learning, memory encoding, memory consolidation, and spatial navigation. It controls emotional memory recalling and regulation. If the Hippocampus were taken out of our brain, we will get stuck in time and it will prevent us from forming new memories and remembering past experiences.

Photographs and Videos we take have a connection with our memory. A photo/video provides information about our past experiences that we perceive in the present time. Very similar to our memories that affect our past experiences on our present self. Photos and Videos serve as memory storage and when viewed can activate memory recall.

Thus, the basis of both our memory and photos/videos is What happened, Where it happened, and When it happened.

Here are some captures from my life and hope you enjoy them.
