It's World Photography Day today
World Photography Day (WPD) is being celebrated today all over the globe with photo-exhibitions, honouring outstanding photographers and photo-art appreciation sessions.

WPD was founded recently in 2009 and first launched globally in 2010 as a global celebration of photography. Now, photography has become common with mobiles and webcams for photographs to be captured, uploaded and shared.

Photography originated from the invention of box camera by the Daguerreotype, a photographic processes developed by Joseph Nicèphore Nièpce and Louis Daguerre in 1830s. These inventions were given as free gifts to the world.

On the occasion of WPD in Jaipur, a few photo-exhibitions have been organised at the Jawahar Kala Kendra (JKK) and a private place. At JKK, the works of hobbyists of the city, Yashvant Kumar and Narayani Gupta, are at display.

At a local mall, a charity wall of the photographs by professionals has been put up for sale for the social cause of education of differently-abled children.
