ABSTRACT
The problem with pictures is that they almost never send just one single, clear message. They take the proverbial thousand words to explain. Perhaps a skeptic would respond that with printed words on a page, one knows where one stands – or at least thinks so. But unless pictures come with printed captions or detailed explanations, their meanings are open-ended (they are even if there is an explanation), and their significance depends on the viewer’s degree of appreciation. The question: “What do you see there?” can have an infinite number of plausible answers.
