Visual history of Aboriginal culture

see-this.wayAmy Toensing Shares the Story Behind Her Photographs of the Oldest Culture On Earth, Peta Pixel, 15 April 14 At an estimated 60,000 years old, the indigenous culture of Australia, the Aboriginals, are estimated to be the oldest still-surviving culture on the planet. And in the above video world-renown photographer Amy Toensing shares her experience photographing this incredibly unique culture for National Geographic, delivering an extremely heartfelt talk about the hardships the Aboriginal culture has continually faced since their land was colonized in 1788…….Toensing does an absolutely incredible job of balancing her own thoughts and giving a historical and personal account of the Aboriginals she came across on this journey…….

The entire presentation is just shy of 22 minutes long, but if you can afford to watch the entire thing, I highly suggest you do so. It’s a phenomenal example of how photography, at times, goes far beyond the camera and the technical skill required to use it. It’s about a connection and giving a voice to the voiceless, sharing a story a thousand words at a time, frame by frame……
