A photographer has the power to bestow immortality on its subject. The serenity of a summer's day everlasting with the click of a button, a child's youthful innocence stored with a flash, a blissful family eternal with the snap of a shutter.
Yet it is just as easy to preserve a country's violence, the pain and grief of death, the cruel reality of nature. To ignore these would be to create a false image of the world where bad things don't happen. A lie. We must remember that the most beautiful, breathtaking photo cannot be developed without its negative image and so once again we hear the term "with power comes responsibility" the responsibility in this case? To show the true world both good and bad as without one the other cannot be appreciated.
