Photography Connecting People

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. - Aaron Siskind

Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. - Edward Steichen

Photography has always been one of my biggest passions. As photographer, it is a way to connect with the object (person, animal, or any object) I'm photographing, to fully experience its beauty and presence. When I'm lucky, the resulting photo indeed shares that beauty with others.

In this TED talk the photo director for National Geographic, David Griffin, shows that power of photography to connect us to our world. With amazing images, he demonstrates how we all use photos to tell our stories. Sometimes touching, sometimes confronting and some extremely funny.

I'm very moved by pictures. I don't start writing my posts until I've found the one(s) I'm going to use.
