“If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.” ~Lewis Hine
Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why? Describe situations when photographic images reveal “the story” (as compared to words). Describe situations when words reveal “the story” (as compared to images).
I totally disagree with this quote! I feel that photos make stories just that much better because of the fact that so many people are so visual. For example, this is why people take cameras on vacation. It's just not the same saying, "Our hotel had this beautiful view over the ocean". Showing the view with a photograph just proves HOW beautiful it was. A situation where words can reveal a story though instead of just the photograph alone is when emotion is involved. This is where you may wish to explain your photo so that words can help back up the photo. Either way, I love to talk and take photos so I would be lost without either! :)
