Just imagine that you are the last surviving member of our species in the entire universe. Nothing remains of us all. Nothing. You are nearing your end. That is the last remaining evidence of us.
In those remaining few gasps of your life, you want to look at all that we were, our histories, our cultures, our virtues and our follies. About our feelings, love, hate, anger, greed, charity, fear, hope, dreams in short one last look for you at the thing that you have valued the most.
You barely manage to bring out a crumpled photo from your within your tattered clothes. You look at it. It tells you all there is that you want to re-live as you take your final breadth...
Which, what and of what would that photograph be?
As a corollary, you have one photo that you shall leave behind for whoever or whatever comes next..to tell the story of the human race..
Which, what and of what would that photograph be?
The answer to those two questions, for me, determine the most valued photograph I ever took or shall take.
