A photophile is someone who loves photography. A photophile will always take photographs and upload them on the internet.
Is it only me or has anyone else noticed the recent photography craze among internet users, especially on Facebook, Whatsapp and twitter?
Everyone is taking 'selfies' and 'groupies' and uploading them on these social media sites after each and every minute.
Long gone are the days when photographs were only taken during special and important occassions like funerals and weddings.
Nowadays, someone will post a photo of him or her in a 'matatu', or in class, or in a hospital bed, or even in a shower room! Is everyone suddenly becoming a photophile?
What happened to the photophobics, those who used to hide when the camera man was called? Is it because of the advancement in technology that has enabled every Tom, Dick and Harry to own phones with high-quality cameras?
Well, as you take a 'selfie', avoid airports, official buildings and embassies as you might end up in jail.
