When the magazine LIFE was created and published many people had no idea what was going on in other parts of the world. Photography was used to show people what was going on either right in their own backyard or some place across the world. All of these pictures helped tell a story, even without reading the article. The images in LIFE changed my mind about certain events because a lot of the terrible things that were happening in other countries were documented and helped inform us so we could be better educated about the world around us. Another major event in history discussed in the video was the explosion of the Hindenburg. This changed history because it documented quick shots and showed people what really happened even if they weren't there to see it. It helped prove how much emotion can be shown through a picture in such a huge tragedy.
I would love to document every day life in a different country. I don't care what era or anything like that i just think it would be really interesting and a great learning experience to go and live with a family somewhere else for a year or so and document what they do every day. I think it would be great to take pictures here because it would show people what life is really like there, rather than creating a fake image of their "life".
I would be interested in photographing a rally or protest because i think it would be really cool to see all of the emotion showed in a protest and all of the different types of people.
