How Has Photography Changed The World?

     Photography is a very popular hobby, it is used in so many ways. Such as to document life, capture beauty,  and even stalk public figures. Photographs influence who people are, what people do, and even what people remember. Photography has changed more than just media, our society no longer focuses on words, in place of words our focus has moved to photographs. This is because photographs can tell a story all on their own. The saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words' is incorrect a picture is worth many more than a thousand words. Photographs can provide evidence to stories that may not sound believable. Or they may even  tell the story of a journey that was untold. A fallen war hero may not be able to share his experiences but the photos he leaves behind can. Images of a blood soaked ground, battle buddies cleaning their weapons, or even of the MRE he is going to eat can shed light on the experience he is unable to share. Photography is able to open doors to worlds that otherwise would have been inaccessible. It can preserve memories, traditions, and events better than a story that has been told for generations.
