At the end of the weekend, I think it is a good time for a short but thoughtful talk by Jonathan Klein. His talk is called “Photos that changed the world.” While the title is self-explanatory, I would add that his speech is not about images or photos as such. It is much more about us and our own world.
Below, I am posting some of his thoughts which resonated with me and I hope will resonate with you:
“Images themselves don’t change the world, but we are also aware that, since the beginning of photography, images have provoked reaction in people, and those reactions have caused change to happen.”
“It is not the photographer who makes the images! it is you! We bring to each image our own values, our own belief systems and, as a result of that, the image resonates with us.”
