... 998, 999, 1,000, 1,001 ...

We've all heard the saying before, a picture is worth 1,000 words. But is it true?


Is A Picture Worth 1,000 Words? 

Maybe...

In some cases 1,000 words would be far too many. In other cases 1,000 words may fall pitifully short. The words to convey the emotions inspired become elusive. Perhaps even pointless, as they might not even exist.

What a concept, conveying a message at the speed of thought. With this in mind, let's have some fun...

I've posted some examples of Fine Art Photography. After absorbing these images recall your response. Was it a flood of thoughts and emotions? Or would a few precisely chosen words be a better fit?

This lens will showcase framed prints of Fine Art Photography that are available at my online boutique:

WORD1001 - The final word in - Fine Art Photography

I will also feature works by some of my favorite, fellow Fine Art Photographers / shopkeepers offering Prints For Sale through CafePress.

These artists are hand selected. They inspire me to become a better artist, a better photographer, one that truly creates images that are worth 1,000 words.

I could be intimidated by these fellow photographers / artists, but I'm not. That would be a mistake. I admire their work, and strive to attain the level of craftsmanship these gifted individuals possess. My goal is to be considered as a peer.

Most of the pieces featured in this squidoo lens are available for purchase. To Buy the Photography For Sale from a particular photographer / artist, simply follow their link provided near each piece.

A special Thank You to the wonderful art patrons out there! Your support truly is appreciated. :)

As you may have noticed, it was the naming / branding of my boutique, word1001, that lead my train of thought down this set of tracks. Is it a runaway train? Will it derail? Or is it the high speed luxury ride of the future? There's only one way to find out...

ALL ABOARD! Next stop, the unknown. (how many words was that?)

Jerry / Snaz

The photo that started it all. This was the very first photo I had enlarged and framed, ever. It was the mid 1990s and I received a lot of positive feedback on it. The rest, as they say, is history.
