I believe Gordon Parks was the very definition of the saying ” A picture paints a thousand words”. The point of photography is to open people eyes to things they never seen, tell a story or even inspire something inside of you. Gordon chose to fight indirectly which is pretty impressive for someone the age of 25, he used this “weapon of choice” which is camera. He attacked issues including racism, poverty, urban life, and injustice. He did other things like fashion photography but his work for the people stands out the most.
I liked the invisible man, Harlem Gang leader and of course the famous Muhammad Ali. I believed he captured them in their own atmosphere as they image tells us a story. Being a photography myself I appreicate the strength of his photos.
