#5 Give your thoughts on one or both of the following quotes.
“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.” ~Edward Steichen
“I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.” ~Mary Ellen Mark
response: I think that photography is one of the best ways for explaining man to man. In a documentary fashion no meaning is lost. There is in a sense a better translation than words could offer. Photography gives us the ability to capture the moment that otherwise would be lost in time.
part 2. Whether before or after the photo is taken its purpose should be explained. However I totally disagree that a photograph in some way could capture ones soul, but rather a person leaves a fingerprint that can not be erased.
