raphy for relaxation and pleas
ure may reach their goal by
specializing in one Of its many
branches or find q general
pursuit Of the hobby more to
their liking. There are many
applications Of photography
to everyday life for the anna
teur as well as the professional
and we will deal briefly with a
number Of these for the bene-
At Of those who may be seek
ing new horizons.
To the average individual
who buys his first camera.
photography is simply a means
by which he can make an oc-
casional picture Of his family
and q record Of the places
visited during the annual va
cation. But, as the neophyte
soon discovers, photography
can mean far more than that.
For one thing. it fits in nicely
with many other hobbies. It
doesn't take one long to dis
cover that it is an excellent
art medium, readily available
to those with the requisite
talent.
Photography is a constant
challenge to those who follow
the field Of sports or any fast
moving action. Increasing
numbers Of amateurs are find
ing their pictures are not only
salable but sought by picture
editors throughout the coun-
try the amateur market Is
wide open and q fruitful
source Of income to those who
take advantage Of 1t.
With that first camera
comes the quite natural desire
to start taking pictures. Per-
hapS the best practice for the
beginner can be those snap
shots that many an old hand
holds up to scorn. Snapshots
have q very definite place in
photography for they serve as
stepping stones from which
the beginner can move on to
better picture-making. Since
they are inexpensive, the nat
ural mistakes that come with
the first pictures are not so
discouraging as they might be
II more costly materials were
used. After the snapshot stage
has been passed a great many !
photographers begin to look
around for advanced uses for
their cameras.
Comero Helps Other Hobbies
One camera fan Of my ac-
Quaintance has another hobby
that Of collecting stamps.
He has found that photog-
raphy is a great aid to the
collector In more ways than
one. He makes copies Of his
more valuable stamps, COM
plying with law, Of course, and
sends these to fellow collectors
and prospective purchasers in
stead Of risking the original
items. Such photographs also
serve as positive means Of
Identification in the event Of
theft or loss. Collectors Of an
tique furniture and other bulky
items find that pictures can
save them many dollars In
shipping costs.
Any family that carries IRE
or theft insurance viii see the
advantage Of having photo
graphs Of valuable home fur
nishings II the time ever comes
for adjusting q claim. A pho
tographic inventory Of valu-
ables can be made with the
camera and lighting equip
