Does A Photograph Take Part Of The Soul?
Several American Native tribes, most notably the Hopi, have held the belief that photographs diminish the soul of the person whose picture is taken.
Although this may at first seem absurd, consider the lives of celebrities. Photographed all the time, they often appear to live frivilous lives of moral relativism, often involving promiscuity, drugs, alcoholism and sometimes violence. Could it be they have weak souls?
Then ask yourself, how many times have you been photographed, filmed or taped? Does it boost your ego when you see pics of yourself? Has it ever made you feel superior to others, or made you feel that you could do no wrong because you look so good?
Do you think the Hopis might have been onto something?
