Assignment 24 - TED Talk: How Photography Connects Us

David Griffin started his presentation by showing some famous photographers' photos, he introduces one photo from an amateur photographer that has been posted on the magazine, and he says everyone will have one or two greatest photos in their life and photographers need to make their photos great all the time. David Griffin shares his experience with his son that he remember as a photo in his memory that is different from his son's memory, that shows everyone's memory photos can be different based on how they see one thing.

David Griffin says one photographer need to make their photos alive and they need to use their photos to record things, their photos should be storytelling. David Griffin shows photos from photographers that spend long time in one place to know that place and people and their photographs show what live people will not think about. Like how people kill elephants just for their ivory; the cute living mode of seals and people's life in slums.

I agree with David Griffin, one photograph should not just be a photo, it should show the life story of your photograph. I think what storytelling photographs want to show in the photograph should be easy to know by people and they can change people's thoughts on that things.
