“A picture is worth a thousand words.”

We’ve all heard the cliche, but I bet you don’t often sit back and contemplate the deeper meaning behind that message.

Pictures, not words, were the very first method with which humans recorded their history. Visuals capture more information in one shot than a book full of words because they allow you to fill in the story with your imagination.

A picture of a family playing catch in the park has billions of interpretations and plot lines that are waiting for a story to fill in the details.
