Hello, cherished residents and wonderful visitors of Stanwell Moor!
A Trip Down the Lane: The Genesis of World Photography Day
Come August 19th, 2023, and the world will be immersed in the celebration of an art form that's as mesmerising as it is powerful – photography. World Photography Day isn't merely a nod to the past; it's a recognition of how far we've come since the first daguerreotype processes of the early 19th century. The origin of this day traces back to the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic process developed by Frenchmen Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1837. On August 19, 1839, the French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process. And thus, World Photography Day was born, an annual, worldwide celebration of the art, craft, science, and history of photography.
Stanwell Moor through the Lens
To those fortunate enough to call Stanwell Moor Village home, or to those who've felt its allure as visitors, you'll concur that our village is sheer poetry. Each lane whispers tales of yore, every dawn paints a new story, and each sunset hums lullabies of stars soon to shine. And while words can paint a picture, a picture can sometimes tell you more than words ever could. That's the power of photography.
Photography: More Than Just Clicks
Photography is often seen as the art of 'capturing moments.' But in essence, it’s much more profound. It's about capturing emotions, narrating unspoken tales, and immortalising fleeting moments of beauty, sorrow, joy, and wonder. On World Photography Day, we're not just celebrating images but the emotions and stories they convey. And in our digital age, every one of us with a phone is a storyteller, holding the power to capture and share moments.
