Our memories are curious things. At any moment we might see a plant, smell a cologne, or hear a thump that reminds us so forcibly of another time in our lives - perhaps a vacation at Bobcaygeon Cottages or a childhood trip to the zoo - that we're literally able to see the event like a photograph in our minds. Unfortunately, though we can sometimes describe it or draw it, we can't share this image with family and friends. Not unless we took the time when we were actually experiencing the event to record it with our cameras.

Many people regard photography as too expensive, obtrusive, or difficult to bother with on a regular basis, but with today's advances in photographic technology, we beginners can take pictures that rival the quality of a professional Ottawa photographer's efforts from only a few decades ago. Here at Picture Simple, we believe that photography is for everyone. Even if you've never held a camera or taken a photo in your life, even if you're so small you have trouble pushing a shutter button or so old that you can't hold a camera still, there's a camera out there for you and we can help you find it.

Of course, as the old saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you, so at Picture Simple we're not concerned solely with the tools of the trade. We can also offer advise on getting that perfect white smile. A visit to a Aurora dentist for tips on how to brighten your smile is a good place to start. We've also got a wealth of photography advice and techniques that will help you get the most mileage out of your life experiences, whether it's graduating from a program for anger management in Hamilton or watching your grandchild's very first piano recital. We aim to change the way you think about photography.

For us at Picture Simple, photography is less of an art form and more of a way to document your life for future generations. If your ultimate goal is to take a photo that makes the viewer feel the same way as listening to African music, that's a noble pursuit. But many years from now, when archaeologists are studying what's left of our civilization, it the photos of everyday life events taken by normal people like you and me that will help them the most.

If you'd like to get started documenting your life, you can begin at any time, it doesn't have to be a big event like the day you decided to make your house plans.
