#5 Give your thoughts on the following quote. “Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.” ~Edward Steichen

Being a romantic this quote really resonates with me because I think it is very true. When I see a photograph of a person, whether it be a serious or comical image, I can't help but try to interpret the expression on the persons face. What were they think at that moment in time? Especially when it is an image when the emotion of the person was the photographers intent. And the range of types of photos that this applies to is so huge. It can be said for cheesy senior photos, fashion photography, national geographic-esque images, etc. The amount information that comes across in an expression is astounding.
