The roots of photo visual literacy go back to a very long time, perhaps its earliest manifestation is cave drawings. This cave wall painting comes from 6000 B.C. Tassili, Sahara Desert, North Africa.
A single photo ad of an Italian clothing company, more than thousand words, can make us think and encourage us to pay attention to a very important issue of our time; human rights.

Meaningful, thought provoking, revolutionary, informational, entertaining or useless, photo visual literacy has been with us since the early ages and will stay until the end of our time on this planet.
