During the first session of IPS I was impacted by the fact that in our ìmass mediaî age, photography and photojournalism are not just recording events of social change and reform. They have become the agents. By capturing the world as it really is—i.e. the worst of human nature, a fallen world, et cetera—we see ourselves as others do, and become an ìoutsider looking in,î able to identify glaring weakness, immeasurable courage, et ceteraÖ In short, the reality of a world groaning for redemption.
