Images are More Powerful than Words
The American Heritage College Dictionary defines the term image as “An optically or electronically formed representative reproduction of an object, esp. an optical reproduction formed by a lens or a mirror.” This is what is more commonly referred to as a picture. The definition of a word is “a sound or combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or a combination of morphemes.” In fact, there is a constant debate about the importance and significance of both forms of communication.

Even though both the tour guide and a pamphlet told everyone exactly what the organization’s purpose was, the Mural actually said more than needed to be said, without the aid of any words. One can agree with Mitchell Stephens’ statement in “By Means of the Visible: A Picture’s Worth” that “certain pictures can put most sentences to shame” (486), because the images illustrated in this Mural put, every single word that was written in the UN pamphlet or spoken by the tour guide, to shame. They gave a deeper and more spiritual meaning, that went above and beyond the mere one-dimensional meaning, of the words used, both written and spoken.
Since motion pictures are a form of imagery, the next image is from the movie, Coming to America. The chosen image was when Akeem, the Prince of Zamunda, was getting married at the end of the movie. When he pulled up the veil of his bride, after thinking that he had lost Lisa forever back in Queens, the look on his face, when he saw that Lisa was not in New York, but in Zamunda, waiting to become his bride, was a mix of joy, anxiety, relief and passion, just to name a few. All of the emotions that were on his face, at that particular moment when he realized that he was going to finally wed the woman he truly loved, cannot possibly be described by enough words to complete this
Imagery: “Broadly defined, imagery is any sensory detail or evocation in a work; more narrowly, the use of figurative language to evoke a feeling, to call to mind an idea, or to describe an object. Imagery may be described as auditory, tactile, visual, or olfactory depending on which sense it primarily appeals to—hearing, touch, vision, or smell. An image is a particular instance of imagery.”

Critical Analysis on a Tina Modotti Photograph Tina Modotti was from a very poor working class society. She was brought up in the northeast part of Italy, in Udine, Friuli. She was born at the tail end of the industrial revolution, in 1896. However, you could say, by all means, that her village hadn't changed the slightest since the seventh century. She lived vigorously throughout her childhood, working endless hours in a silk-textile factory to earn a cash flow and to support the family through starvation.
Immediately after Bob Rae assumed power, the economy of Ontario began collapsing due high rates of joblessness, rising deficits and the government consequently lost the support of the business people who have a significant impact on Ontario’s economy. (News in Review 2002) The worst mistake they made about their chances of reelection was the decision to introduce a policy to limit the wages of workers in the public sector who had formed groups that supported the policies of NDP unconditionally.

Images of art enhances how one views the world around him. Infinite meanings behind an image expands one’s vision to see much more, to think much more, and to believe much more. “Our vision is continually active, continually moving, continually holding things in a circle around itself, constituting what is present to us as we are(Berger 106)”.
“A distinct representation of something that can be experienced and understood through the senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste), or the representation of an idea is what is called image (Clugston, 2010 sec. 2.5). When we read literature we usually imagine the scenery or the characters in it. The author usually describes things in such detail that that you can make an image in your mind of it. This makes literature more interesting to us as readers.

When I think of Imagery I think of a book. When reading a book do you ever picture what the character looks like? That’s kind of what imagery is. Imagery is a sentence that uses words that appeal to all the senses. Descriptions of people or objects stated in terms of our 5 senses. In simpler terms imagery is when the words used in the sentence are so descriptive you can almost taste, smell, hear, feel, and see the person or thing.
Humans are as diverse as they are the same, even in their opinion of such a statement. There are billions of people communicating countless ideas in a multitude of languages the world over, yet somehow common themes and ideas transect the pages of history, excluding none. Here in the digital age, the surrounding environment continues to become more and more visually-infested, nearly keeping pace with the rapid development of communications technology. "In such a world, the problem of how words and pictures connect is a vital one. And no artistic medium seems to me as properly suited to the working out of the connection as the visual narrative is. It is itself the meeting ground of words and pictures" (Dardess 222).
Whenever I'm feeling stressed, I pick up a pen and begin to draw. It has a calming,
Again I quote, however: deep written text. Much of our digital media is oriented towards visual comprehension, such as photography, advertising/branding design, even emojis. They all convey a quick, attention grabbing assessment of the mindset, goal, and themes of the media, as opposed to the more time consuming, consideration oriented
Photography is my absolute passion in life and always will be. It has been the main focus of my life for the past seven years. Some people would say “Why photography, it’s just taking pictures” and yeah that’s exactly what it is, but it is what I want to do most in life. Most people want to be Lawyers or Doctors, and if they want to that’s fine, but being in court or cutting open a brain doesn’t interest me at all. My passion for the art is what absolutely drives me to work harder.
