This article did an outstanding job with images and a video of how photography can truly make a difference in people's lives. Just by looking at a photo it shows how people's moods can change from taking the photograph in and how anything as simple as staring at a photo can make a bad day a little bit better. The Broken Light Collective features over 22,000 photographers that use photography to share their past and how they overcame mental illnesses. It is now a non-profit organization and the money goes towards launching exhibits and workshops for people that have been affected with mental illnesses.
I clicked on this article because the title immediately captured my attention. I wanted to know how people were affected and even changed by taking and looking at certain photographs. I think the organization is a wonderful idea and I'm glad that so many people are interested in trying to make a difference in people's lives.
Here is one of my favorite photos on the website that I found. Credits go to Craig A. Miller.
