I've been too busy teaching English to my Japanese students, but I know I need to breathe life back to my photoblogging!

This one's title was inspired by the book "Death Sentence: The Decay of Public Language" by Don Watson a book which "takes a blowtorch to the words and their users, who kill joy and clarity."

"Pictures rule, but words define, explain, express, direct, and hold together our thoughts and what we know." ~ Don Watson

Where you see a telephone cord I see a damaged DNA structure what also remits to the title - Death sentence. angil · 2011-11-26: 09:03

interesting post! opary · 2011-11-28: 02:00

interesting, but in the end futile dichotomy, if you ask me. words rule as much as pictures define, express, explain and direct in this world; we are always both, eye animals and abstraction seekers. i don't think that words as in written language are a necessity for propelling humanity and our culture(s) into the future, i don't even think that abstract and deep philosophical thoughts require words. they are just nice little buggers we got used to (after being mostly annoyed by them in school;-) i think the interesting question is not what happens when words are against pictures, it's what happens when mix them both to achieve your message; which is one reason why i like photoblog very much. :-) mawey · 2011-11-28: 04:51

p.s. however, i'll hope to get the book if i can find it here, then give you a more informed remark about it! ;-) mawey · 2011-11-28: 04:52
