Blog Prompt #1

It's hard to imagine a world without photographs because they relate to so many aspects of our lives. A world without photographs would be one without a visual and accessible historical record. While grand events from the past have become immortalized in works of art, the everyday events have in large part been lost. Photographs allow us to look back at the little moments that make up people's lives. They can help us remember special events and people in our lives, and they can help future generations to understand the world as we experience it. Photographs also help us to experience other places and cultures that we may never have the opportunity to see first-hand. Without photos, I think it would be much more difficult for people to understand each other.
