Jonathan Klein | TED Talk

Jonathan Klein, one of the founders of Getty Images, gave a TED Talk on February 2010 about the importance of photographs.

For those interested in seeing some iconic images and a discussion of their importance this lecture is for you.

For those that have not been introduced to the TED series of lectures take sometime to visit the site and watch some very interesting, very free lectures that will open your mind to new ideas. It is a lot better than watching TV.
