How Photography Connects Us Summary

In the Ted talk, David Griffin elaborates on how photography connects us as humans. What photography does is it emulates a moment. It freezes it. Through your image, you’ll be able to tell a story through that moment. We can tell a story of pain, happiness, conflict, adventure, world issues, and so much more. Sometimes a symbol might be present in order to give a deeper meaning of the situation. Through pictures, we can sympathize or empathize. We are connected through the world in the pictures. We feel with the pictures.
