This picture that was taken with Kanye West and 2 of his fans, is a relative to the quote that is being presented. In today's society, evidence is any and everything is highly recommended instead of going by word-of-mouth. If someone was to tell you that they seen a walking shark yesterday, it is possible that no one would believe the person that made the statement; But if they had visual evidence (A video or Photo) then if can be incurred that the person was telling the truth. So to say evidence is required when telling explaining something to someone. To add to that, the image may be f value to the person who has taken the photo, as you can see 2 friends enjoying themselves and meeting Kanye. Who knows when an opportunity like that will ever happen again.
