“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.” ~Edward Steichen
I definitely agree with this quote. A good picture can show emotion and true beauty. A portrait can contain all of the lines in a face required to convey a feeling, and sometimes its so powerful that it elicits an emotional response in the viewer. A photograph of a landscape is something I've always considered beautiful. To show the brilliant green of trees, the vivid hues of a sunset, the chill of a frozen lake... it makes you feel as if you are there. When there is nothing words can do to get the description right, a photograph does a perfect job.
