Sometimes you just have to there. For all those moments, I wish would have had a camera present. This quote emphasizes just that. Words can only take you so far, and after that you have to see it.
Words work when giving information. When people need the facts, simply writing it down is sufficient. For example, when a person wants to know the stock information for a given day, a picture wouldn’t be able to contain the same depth as an article.
Photographs are used as illustrations, and give off certain emotions. During the hurricane in Haiti, it pained the world to read that thousands of people died. Then, we actually saw the devastation. When news crews showed the world images of destroyed country, it moved people to send money and actually help.
In my own experience, I saw a man walking around in ass-less chaps. I told my roommate and she snickered. Luckily, I had my cell phone camera at my disposal, and was able to get a shot just before I walked away. When I showed her the photo, she died laughing (not literally). If I didn’t have a camera with me, she wouldn’t have been able to share in the pure joy.
