ABSTRACT
Using Images, considered what to do with our images, and highlighted organization, storage, archiving, doing research from our images, and using images to present our work (both to research participants and professional audiences). The authors introduce the foundational topics of visual ethics, thinking visually, and thinking of images as data based on image basics. Matching method to message requires asking a few key questions. What is the thrust of the material being presented? Is it about behavior, architecture, land use, or artifacts? Or is it about subjective experience or individual narrative? The key to good research is finding a way to investigate something and then having a way to make sense of whatever people find. Where visual research differs—and as the materials in this book have been discussing—is in how imagery represents reality.
