Huh?
Yes, I'm pretty sure they did which is because there are so many images of it. It is the most documented Holocaust and tragedy in world history. Images change minds. They also expand worlds and show the truth. Many Jewish photographers shot within the actual camps because they realized the importance of doing so.
I said nothing of their sacrifice. I merely said visiting a Holocaust museum was very important to me and hopefully it can give me true penance from my prior racism towards white people by improving race relations.
The fact you do not see the importance of documentation or why someone would strive to document makes you look like a fool. The only reason anyone knows of many atrocities is because they were shot. Through photography I get to blend multiple pet subjects: visuals and politics/sociology.
So fuck you.
Atrocities have been captured since the dawn of mankind. Why would a visit to a Holocaust Museum have anything to do with you choosing photography as a career. That is just the weak minded liberal pansy ass mentality that has you wanting to run to France. Boo Hoo, Trumpy makes me sad face. Everything is bad. Fuck you, I have an incurable disease that was named after a Nazi Doctor that did horrific shit during the Holocaust. No fun runs and ribbons for our cause. Sometimes life sucks, buck up and quit fucking crying. You have as much of a chance of moving to France as I do fucking a Super Model.
Well, 2016 made me realize I want to impact the world in a good way before I die.
I've always had a predisposition towards film and was going in that direction. And then upon chance, I bought my first real camera. It was a film camera and I loved taking images on it. And then I noticed I loved taking pictures of humans, notably candid moments with gestures. I found myself drawn to the works of Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson, and W Eugene Smith. The more I shot, the more I realized I had a talent for it. And the more I shot the more I realized why I shoot. Some days I would shoot 200-300 pictures on film. But it was all just street photography. But then, on a lark, I visited a Holocaust museum and realized the true power of photography. Surrounded by images I've seen multiple times in my life I saw them through a new and different context. These people's stories were told to the world. Before then, it was a hobby. I took it much more seriously afterwards and looked into making it a potential career.
Any hopes for filmmaking dropped. While film is great for expanding minds and telling others' stories, unless it's a documentary it's going to be manufactured. But with photography you capture the real truth. And the people live on forever.
I have since gained mentors who believe in my ability to shoot. Being able to record the world as it is entices me. I want to tell other people's stories. As someone likely with Asperger's, photography is also a great way to help me analyze the world. I feel very small in life. But when I shoot I get to show proof that I existed. So that before I die I know I will have showed the world something about humanity.
Also you sound genuinely dumb.
Not surprising given you are a conservative. Stop wasting my e-space, Nazi. Get out of my sight.
