In the process of writing we discover ourselves, it takes us on a path. Sometimes I write without a purpose or reason, its just a way to express my feelings. Maybe we can differentiate writing as expressing one self, and photography as capturing a moment...but then again it could be vice versa. Just my point of view :P I’m not being critical about writing, though. In the process of writing we discover ourselves, it takes us on a path.

Sometimes, even words cannot describe images. How would you, for example, describe the different tones of blue? An image can. One single image can carry many meanings. Since we are celebrating "Man's first walk on the moon," I would like to take the picture of our Earth, taken by Neil Amstrong from the moon, as an example. It was a wake-up call for all of us, because from this picture, people could see that our Earth was so fragile and peaceful...there were no boundaries. It struck people emotionally, and different people draw different meanings from the image. Images can evoke memories and feelings too: you look at an old image, and suddenly you're reminded of that moment. Anyhow, as you said, each person has their own point of view, the goal is, "to save meaning in its fullest form."
