Photography. Match the headings with the texts. When the fire starts Valuables from the past Reasons to live Describe the horrors of war When you ask people what possessions they would rescue from their burning house, one of the most frequent answers is the photograph album or a computer with digital images. This impulse to save our recorded memories is a powerful force which tells us much about the role of photography in our lives. We try to preserve important events and people. Photographs are our personal story, a timeline of our lives filled with faces and places. Photographs are going to outlive us. Younger generations might find hardly recognisable fresh faces of great grandparents among old papers in an attic. These images really matter because they freeze some precious moments. We usually search for the person we once knew or the places we once visited. Photographs can be small pieces of a jigsaw that complete a larger picture of our lives, full of emotions. Photography allows us to express ourselves through an art form. We notice a beautiful landscape or an old man’s tired face and we want to capture it. We are driven by a strong desire to communicate visions and ideas. Each of us will have a different reason to do so but, essentially, we want to create something. We simply need to create because it justifies our existence. And the creation of an image makes us an artist. Photographs can grab our attention and speak directly to our emotions. Nick Ut’s photograph of a crying Vietnamese girl whose clothes have been burnt away by napalm embodies the power of a single image. We can learn lessons about some events and things without being in physical contact with them. Some photographs can be worth a thousand words. They have a tremendous power to communicate information.
