Photography – Why Take Pictures? – Power of a Photograph
Every so often someone will ponder or ask the question outright: “Why do you take pictures?” The simple answer, which is often the best, is that photographs can be powerful. Did you ever see someone look at a picture and cry? Did you ever see someone look at a picture and smile? Did you ever see someone look at a picture and recoil in horror or astonishment?
I have seen all of these and I have experienced them as well. Oh, and one last thing…photographs can be fun.
The Cooperative of Photography (COOPH) has produced a YouTube video called The Power of a Photograph and they provide specific examples of
- Unique moments
- Iconic Moments
- Fun Moments
- Moments of Loss & Desperation
- Moments of Defiance
- Moments of Bravery
- Moments of Love & Respect
- …And Moments of Triumph
The video below helps us appreciate why people take photographs and the power behind pictures.

What We Can Learn From Dogs
Quoted from the text of the above video [emphasis added ]…
“When humans bring a dog into their lives, they are most often looking for a companion; what they may not realize is that they are getting a teacher as well. Every single day dogs teach us important life lessons about love, overcoming adversity and healing!”
