There is an old saying that says that a picture is worth a thousand words. I took that saying and firmly implanted it in my head. At any given time, there are so many things happening. In the photo below, we see a photo (presumably) of a man standing next to his rickshaw bicycle with motorbikes in front of him. The image is full of life and stories, way more than a thousand. There is so much going on. But what I chose to focus on is the underwear advertisement in the upper right hand corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is the underwear advertisement? With a quick snip and a focus on the undergarments dangling from a tree branch among the power lines, we end up with a completely different story that we were initially given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you crop an image from an image, does it still have a thousand words? In this case, I’d say yes. By cropping the underwear and using grid-lines (on Pixlr.com<\/a>) to put it in the upper third of the image, we are given millions of possible stories about the underwear, as opposed to the story of the man. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
