Zbigniew Religa// The history of a picture that changed the world
1987 , ________
Coming across many different types of amazing photography, I selected this particular picture because it caught my attention for some reason. It made me actually want to look up its history behind it. It was taken in 1987, and it turned out to be that it was actually a real life scene. It was one long day for Dr. Zbigniew Religa after 23 hours of heart transplant. He was very successful and in that time of area doctors did not have all the right tools and machines. The surgeon sleeping in the corner, the bloody mess like a very hard job has been done. It's very touching and powerful that someone had the ability to save someone's life. His assistant in the picture just fits perfect for that shot. The focus is the doctor and the patient, all the machines plugged in gives you the chills and shows you how gloomy the picture is. How people go through so much and people showed really appreciate what they have. In a way he changed someone's world.
