That Special Power

Photography has a special power. It can create doubt and certainty, at the same time. It can prove nothing and everything. It initiates conversation, sparks movements and shapes history. Among the most potent displays of photo-genius is the annual Prix Pictet competition in sustainability photography. Attending the Prix is on my bottomless bucket list, as is viewing the annual Recontres d'Arles. This Monocle video on the 2014 Prix Pictet exhibition on "Consumption" at the Victoria and Albert Museum is worth watching.
