Photography
Photography is a strong tool, a propaganda device, and a weapon for the defense of the environment... Photographs are believed more than words; thus they can be used persuasively to show people who have never taken the trouble to look what is there. They can point out beauties and relationships not previously believed or suspect to exist.
Eliot Porter as cited in: Rebecca Solnit (2007) Storming the Gates of Paradise: Landscapes for Politics. p. 235
Photography
The step from the age of Typographic Man to the age of Graphic Man was taken with the invention of photography.
Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964), p. 259
