A picture is worth a thousand words A delightful "editorial" photographic essay of the work of Alan Bush as seen through his lens. The book was created to bring out your emotions and to motivate you to tell your stories. A great book to inspire conversations and a great book to appreciate the world around us. The adage "A picture is worth a thousand words" refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text. It also aptly characterizes the goals of visualization where large amounts of data must be absorbed quickly. - wikopedia
