I’m a picture person, so the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” really stands true for me. For me, a picture can be a read like a book. When I know even a little of the context of a picture, it becomes even more detailed. I find myself collecting photos (on my computer) that resonate with me for one reason or another. Most recently, I’ve been collecting protest/support photos around the Trayvon Martin tragedy. I’ve collected these photos from all over the Internet. See below for a selection of them.
For YOU, how influential are photos? Could one photo encourage you to act? In regards to gaining support for causes and movements, how persuasive do you think photos are in our country? How do you think photos be used even more effectively to gain support for a cause or movement?
I believe that images can be more powerful than words at times. Especially in moments of protest. The people you are trying to persuade, need to SEE the act of the attitude or activity you're trying to change.
