Post an image, a still photograph or video that resonates with you. It could be the last shot of your favorite movie or a photo that you are drawn to. When you post the image briefly discuss why you like the image, what draws you to the image, and the type of emotional response it evokes from you.
Below is a picture taken by Gordon Parks that reminds me of a sociological research study done in the 40's that observed African American children's response to White and Black dolls. Most children identified the White doll as good, happy, peaceful. While the Black doll was considered mean, sad, and bad.This same study was done about five years ago and produced the same response.
I find this image striking; loaded with content and beauty.

Don't worry folks your pictures or videos don't have to be socially charged, this just happens to be something that resonated with me that I thought I would share. Gordon Parks was the epitome of multi-media artist. He was a writer, photographer, filmmaker, musician, and activist.
