The right 1000 words.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postI know a picture is worth a thousand words, but I'm starting to think the words are getting short-changed.
Pictures are little more than height and width and implied depth. The right 1000 words can inspire tastes and smells and pull things from our memory that are so strong.
I was looking at a photo ID of someone recently and though the photo looked like the person, it also did not. It said nothing about the sparkle in the eye or the twitch of the mouth in full grin. It didn't capture the furrowed brow in a moment of thought. There was nothing in the ID but a pattern on a flat surface.
I should begin to practice finding that right 1000 words.
