I think back today to a argument I had years ago with am
amateur photo club member who was then a friend of sorts. He was an
educated man, a professional but did not truly believe in the power and
importance of photography. He would make excuses all the time of why NOT to make photograph, he would downgrade their importance etc. My point in the argument was that photography
had the power to cause change, that it could impact peoples lives in a
very positive way. He did not value photography in that way. He told me
things like "Your photos will never have any value!!!, Never change
anything!!" . I always wanted to prove him wrong, his pessimism and
negativity put a burr under my saddle. With all the recent donation work
and all the help taking place as a direct result of the photographs
made, I feel some redemption. He was wrong I was right! :) Photos can
make a positive difference, they can have a positive impact in peoples
lives.
PHOTOGRAPHY HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE LIVES, PHOTOGRAPHY DOES MATTER!
