Photography changed everything review
The article "Photography changed everything" explains how exactly photography changed everything. In the article the author gives examples of how photography did in fact change everything. There is not a lot in this article about how the beginning of photography changed anything, instead it focuses more on photography in todays age. They start off explaining how photography is not good for everyone, giving the example of the congressman who lost his spot in congress due to images he sent to some young women. Without photography things like that would not be happening. It also explains how with social media like Facebook and Instagram photos have become the easiest way to let people know what a person is up to. Instagram and snap chats are full apps that only use photos. The article also explains how artistic photography shows great feeling in the objects being photographed. At the end of the article it talks about how photography "changes what we do", "changes where we go", "Changes what we remember". These are all to show how photography has a much bigger impact than some people give it credit. I thought this article was very interesting. I also think that it is completely right. I may be biased because of my love for photography, but images show us more than any other type of media. With photos we can see parts of the world that we will never be able to see because of how far away they are and the lack of means we have to get there. Because of photos we all know what mars looks like, but very few of us will ever actually go there. I think this article is a good way of showing how photography has impacted society, because sometimes we need examples to understand how much something impacts us.
