I find a great non-linearity in viewing an image that is missing in text reading. This non-linearity, in my opinion, can be capitalized by the photographer. When we read, we start at some point and predictably proceed in some given direction and end at a prescribed point. This is missing in an image. While Visual Language folks tried to put grammar to images, they have not been able to talk very lucidly about the art of sense making when viewing an image. Thanks again, for sharing your insights.

I think it is valuable to understand, and think about how we can create context, or convey that with the images that we make. Although text can be powerful, I think that you should also consider creating context inside the image. I think it is definitely important to always understand the context of the images we create.

I think it is important to note the changing or evolving way in which we communicate. Yes we are still using text and spoken language to collect and distribute information individually, but it is inevitably disintegrating. Images have been slowly becoming the way in which we consume and share larger chunks of data. So that's why I think this article is important, because deep in the future reading images and interpreting images will be more important than learning the alphabet. It is becoming one of the ways in which we communicate in business today. Simple as it may seem, sending a picture of a cow with the number 100 next to it lets the cattle rancher in Japan know how many cows his American client would like to purchase. Image interpretation will be the stone that brings down the tower of Babel. At least I hope! Thanks again for a great article! You are now bookmarked! Great article!
