The Power of Photography

We have all heard the expression
a picture is worth a thousand words...
Photographs are powerful storytelling tools.  Dorothea Lange said, "The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."  What does that mean?  What might we not see unless looking at a photograph?

This TED talk by Jonathan Klein, the man who runs Getty Images, is chock-full of ideas about the power of photography.  As we watch the video, please make a running list of ways that photography has influenced our opinions and/or impacted the world.
