Question #3

“If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.” ~Lewis Hine

 Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why? Describe situations when photographic images reveal “the story” (as compared to words). Describe situations when words reveal “the story” (as compared to images)

I think that using a camera to describe things is a great way to convey a message. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. It can mean so much but have so little. However pictures can mean different things to different people. Using words to tell the story can share the message exactly the way it is meant to be shared. I think that words and pictures are important by themselves but also to be used together.
