New York Times - The Mystery at the Heart of Great Photographs

A friend who reads online news saw this article in the online edition of the New York Times and sent me the link. 

An article written 'On Photography' by Geoff Dyer, August 30th 2016, discussed a photograph taken in the 1950s by photographer Eli Weinberg and the many connotations that can be found when studying the image.

I found the article by Geoff very interesting as it discussed the implications of the meaning of the study in the history of apartheid and how it affected the lives of both black and white people at that time.

I think the main brunt of the article was to make you look at a picture and not assume that impressions taken at a glance can be so misleading, especially when said photographs are significant moments in time.
