The camera made us journalize our daily moves... we let the world know where the hell we've gone; what on heaven did we eat; and how we f**kn' trolled it, he he ....and even what we're bloody up to!
All manufacturers has its own version of camera introduced with constant megapixel upgrading.
Everyone owns this clicky coolness if not embedded on a phone, PDA, tablet or any multimedia device.
Most of us have a point 'n shoot camera. Needless to say, a photo enthusiast will have a perfectly suited type of gear in every occassion.
The camera made us journalize our daily moves... let the world know where hell we've gone, what on heaven we ate, how we f**kin' did it, he he ....(and even what we're up to. )
Now that it comes cheap, gigably storable , ergonomic to operate, hasslefree to print and comes with a downloadable feature, the camera becomes not just a flashy bling but a necessity gizmo that fits in our pocket if not dangling on our necks
Camera becomes the witness of our daily lives, gigs, adventures and even in our hilarious or not so welcome accidents or serendipity!
Picture taking then ,once just a luxury for the elite and for special events becomes a natural daily occurence for the social pop world .
But , there's more that we can do with this boon to technology, to our life advantage.
Here's how to make a lifehack out of your simple camera:
01 When going to a new place take as many pictures as you can ..not only just for remembrance but as a reference later in case you want to recall where you at, and what have you gone..the people..and or any thing that would need to refresh your memory later.
( This is helpful in remembering what you've gone through when in case you get drunk, pass out,,and wake up at the your pukeside.)
02 In case you're traveling to an unknown place for the first time ..be it in another county, unfamiliar "gates of hell" or just a maze of pathway, its better to keep clicking for pix than leaving bread crumbs as clues for ease of going back just like hansel and gretel did.
( You can do this unconspicuously. Take every landmark , the pix are a great help in finding your way back as you investigatively stalk on your boyfriends suspicious etinerary.
03 I have stumbled upon a lifehack to take a picture of a borrower with the item he wants to borrow. This way you will not forget and he too will remember that his pix and the borrowed item is on your memory card. Make this picture taking mandatory for borrowers of your things!
04 When riding a public utility jeepney or taxi, it's a reflex to me to take pix of the plate number or the drivers i.d. so as when i forgot something in the vehicle, i can easily report if not locate it immediately. This is also a deterrent to unpolite drivers to be rude at passengers sometimes.
05 On our restaurant or maybe in any other business shops as well, when you still have no CCTV it's also a good idea to take pictures of customers you suspect would be a problem to your establishment. If you can't take the pix directly, have a way of taking a selfie or a group pix but would also frame the persons you would like to take.
As for me, i really tell them that i take pictures of our customers.
Who would then dare to proceed with ill plans if any, knowing that your face is already captured ?
06 In case of bullying in any setting , taking pix can also stop the perpetrators to continue for they know they will be recognized if they do wrong.
Just a piece of advice: always seize up the situation if it's improper to take the picture or not.
Otherwise, don't force it or never use your camera to stalk on someone, or you will end up like Ramon Tulfo (Pilipino journalist /paparazzi) sandal-pecked and eye-poked at his unwelcome intrusion of marital fight.
07 Taking pix also of your important personal belongings is a good idea in order to have a digital copy of what you have and have easy describing in case of theft . If you will capture it including the case and the area you put it in ,it will also help you to locate your stuff in case of short term memory loss or just natural senility.
08 As a parent , if your child is going on a vacation or your will be on a vacation trip ,have a pix or two before you leave.
You really can't tell, but in case your child is lost, you can easily show pictures of how she look, what she wear before she got lost so the helping officers will easily recognize and locate her in the crowd.
( I don't mean to scare you or something...but in the event that she's kidnapped you can always show the authorities the pix..hmm sowee,,knock on wood! )
09 Sometimes, friends sell things. ..and sometimes you also ,want it but you need permission from a higher authority (in my case, my wife) taking pix of the item saves you a lot of explanation on how it is supposed to be a great bargain .
Either your an informal agent selling something, or just a friend facilitating a friends need, your camera capsulizes your talk and gives you the ease in handling transactions graphically interesting as you flick on different perspectives in your touchscreen.
10 Most of all, as for me, being an advocate of social change, having a handy camera gives me the power of information.
Wherever you go, you can always document anything be it being vigilant or just a critic of your surroundings.
With just a click, a certain phenomenon or anecdote is forever captured on your file for reference, evidence or just plain appreciation of the things that come your way.
