A Word a Week Challenge: Context

THE SAYING “A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS” is never more true than with a photograph. Photographs have tremendous power to communicate information. But they also have tremendous power to communicate misinformation, especially if we’re not careful how we read them.

    • Who or what do you see?
    • When was this photograph taken — what is happening in the photograph?
    • Where was this photograph taken?

and finally

    • Why?

So how do YOU interpret the context in this photograph? I’d love to hear what you think.

Although I really dislike puppets (the fear of puppets is Pupaphobia) especially wooden ones like Pinocchio, the ones you find in the Czech Republic are quite amazing, if not a little disturbing.
