Photography is the fine art of recording history.

They bring back memories of events, happiness, anger, hope, love and basically the human story and our environment.

Many of us do studio shooting and love to retouch shots and make things beautiful. We sometimes forget the incredible power of photography to document people and their lives. See, e.g., Edward Curtis' documentation of Native Americans. And closer to the OP, every now and then amazing treasure troves of photos documenting the American Negro experience are uncovered in attics and museums.

I especially like it when the photos are accompanied with captions, explanations, essays.

Lovely slice of history. Unfortunately, with today's over sensational press, and the paranoia of "stranger danger", I fear this may be a thing of the past, (no pun intended).

A few months ago there were articles about a couple of documentary photographers/videographers who were forced to leave a small Appalachian community because of upset residents. Granted that the visitors looked and acted like dirtbags, but this wasn't the first such incident I've heard of or even witnessed.

Protests over dead Negroes are common these days and in a number of protests, photographers and video people were roughed up by the crowd who suspected that the shooters were actually undercover police.

It's a sad state of affairs. I often get suspicious looks when out with the camera. If I was up to no good, I'd be using a cell phone. Not a dirty great big SLR.
