comparison-photography
If pictures paint a thousand words, the same comparison should work for photos. I don't have a thousand words to spare, so I'll try to explain this type of comparison without going overboard. A single image can sum up entire events, children's milestones, activities of daily living, the times we live in, and even how we live. Pictures let others see in your life what you can't possibly begin to describe when telling them your tales. The many words we use to describe what we see in just one photo can actually amount to a thousand words. I'm sure many photos require more or less than this amount, but the idea applies to every picture. Look at the photo on the bottom left, you can see how the bird looks tortured and you would describe in words the horror you see. If you click the image for the full size you can then truly see what happened. Don't worry, we saved the bird. In the photo on the bottom right, what words would you use to start in describing what you see? "The sky had many shades of blue." "Waves crashed on the beach." "The girl flies through the air." "The day seems warm." Obviously I could go on and on in this manner. How many words would you use for the top image? I've used up my word limit for today. I just hope I don't sing old Bread songs in my head all day now.
