The first World Photography Day was held on August 19th, 2010.
About 210 photographers shared their photographs in a global online gallery. People from all over the world visited the gallery to admire their work.
This event is celebrated every year on August 19th.
The word photography means drawing or writing with light. It is very fitting, considering that photography tells a story without words.
Photography comes naturally to me and I love to tell a story with my images. Wildlife and pets are my favorite subjects.
If you are interested in learning about the history of photography, you may enjoy reading National Photography Month. I wrote that post in May of 2022.
If you like photography, submit your photo to World Photography Day.
How can you celebrate World Photography Day on August 19th?
