Using pictures, where words fail

Every time we look at a photograph, we bring with us our own mix of beliefs, ideas, values and histories. All of which help to shape our responses. When a title or caption is tagged onto an image it closes off any reading, other than that intended by the photographer. If photography is intended, as a means of visual poetry, a piece of work that has no correct answer, only possible meanings and interpretations.

Captions should include only descriptive details such as dating places and events.

"if I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to buy a camera."
