Second Summary

The original text:

Why is photography so important?

Photography allows people to communicate what is important to them, helps to preserve history, facilitates communication, enables people to become artists and moves people in ways that words sometimes cannot. Though becoming a great photographer requires practice, anybody who has a camera can tap into the importance of photography.

The photographs on the walls of a person’s home or office can communicate a lot about what is important to him. Important people and events often are captured in photos that are preserved long after the people themselves are gone, allowing later generations to experience history. Photography is a well-established medium for preserving family and cultural histories as well. The people or events that are photographed perhaps will never be the same again, so taking advantage of opportunities to take photos allows for the remembrance of things as they once were.

Social media channels are full of people sharing photographs to communicate with others. In fact, some websites and social channels are built to simply allow people to share photos. As is evidenced by award-winning photos seen in the pages of magazines and websites, a photo is able to describe and to move a person to act in ways that words themselves may not.

My summary:

Even though, a photographer has to practice very hard to become a great one, everyone who owns a camera can see why photography is important. When one looks at one of their photographs, one can remember the event, even if the person is no longer with them. Through photographs, different generations can still see what a person looked like, even if they never saw them. Taking a photography is very important, because that moment will never be the same again, so one can look back at the photograph to remember that moment that once happened. Photographs help people to communicate without words, to show what is important to them. For example, if one has photograph in their office or at home, one can immediately tell what the person is into or what is important to them.

Nowadays, people share photographs through social media on websites, which help people to communicate with other people. A photograph can deliver a message or leaves an emotional impact on a person without any words used.
