There are many breathtaking visits that happen with blogging. Experiences and thoughts and ideas and photos that would or could not exist without such an easily accessible format. Just a few years ago, all this would have been impossible. The world indeed has become a much smaller place and I think that is good for us. I think it helps us see we are part of something much bigger, and even thus, we are much more powerful than we think.
I am fascinated by the art and science of photography and photographers have tremendous responsibility when they capture a photo to tell a story. Here is a terrific example.

Very true Tabor! Amazing
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason people say, "A picture is worth a thousand words." While I am constantly amazed at the power words hold, and the good or damage they can do, I am even more amazed at what a photo can say while not uttering a single one.
ReplyDeleteThat was really an incredible story Tabor. Thanks for sharing.
yes, indeed, tabor. thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteHalfway through the viewing, I realized my hand was over my mouth. I was aghast.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a lot of responsibility to know so much about the world. I remember learning years ago that Native American's only concerned themselves with the medicine wheel of about an 8 mile radius of where they lived. But there is no going back to anything like that in today global one world.
