A Visual is Worth a Thousand Verbs


I wish I could claim the title as my own quipy turn on a familiar phrase but I heard it last night at dinner. Still, the words are true of images because they plainly express the reality that words work so hard to convey. That isn’t to say that the written or spoken word is dead or not worthy of attention. Rather it makes those textual moments of clarity and expressiveness all the more impressive. 
We are inundated with images, imagine how many words those are worth, but then we must also consider their value. Yet when reading what has been written well each word is worth it.
