Nice find Karen.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, six pictures are worth ...
I've long believed that we are creators of non-verbal communication (i.e. messages). While poets, authors and songwriters use words to convey where imagery does not exist (i.e. they paint a picture with words), we use imagery to convey where words do not exist ... both verbal & non-verbal mediums aspiring for excellence in the conveyance of the message. Those six pictures probably illustrate this better than I could do with six million words ... which, I probably have already passed by now.
Where the verbal communicators have words and punctuation, etc. ... we have scale, mass, tonal values, hue, form, shape, light, shadow, framing, perspective, comp, etc. It's your message ... we can choose to be a mere taxi for a recording device ... or we can choose to be the author of finely crafted workmanship (and record it) in delivering our "voice" (i.e. message).
Shakespeare and Hemingway may have started with something as simple as Dick and Jane or Dr. Seuss ... but they didn't stay there. Likewise, we may start with taking simple snapshots, but neither are we constrained to remain there. It all starts in our mind ... and then we aspire to transcribe from our gray matter (get your head in the game) to the gray matter of others. That can be anything from "as seen" to "as felt" to "as desired".
Your message ... your call.
