The Picture Tells Everything

                  Someone said "picture is worth a thousand words", it means that picture tells a story as well as a large amount of descriptive text. Because It's much easier to learn how machines work by looking at pictures, rather than by hearing someone describe them. For example, the newspaper editor decided to devote more space to photographs of the disaster than to text, since a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, we use the pictures to tell the whole story without saying anything. 

                  Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure. For me, I think the best pictures are often on the edges of any situation. So, I’m not going to say that in order to be successful you need to have images, but it goes a long way in terms of conveying emotion, building a brand image and creating individuality. Pictures have the ability to make us feel happy, excited, disgusted, and curious among other things. We can even reminisce 10, 20, 30 years into the past to a moment in our lives where we were affected emotionally by a specific event simply by looking at an old picture. Images can also warn us or give us clues about to what’s to come.

   
                   According to the news about the earthquake in Nepal recently. That is the worst news in 2015. The Nepal earthquake killed more than 7,000 people and injured more than twice as many. It took place on April 25, 2015 with a moment magnitude of 7.8 or 8.1, it did not easy to deal with because it was the most powerful disaster to strike Nepal. The damage in those villages remains incomplete, with many isolated from rescuers by landslides and severed roads. In central Katmandu, at least 175 residential buildings were destroyed, according to satellite images compiled and assessed by the European Commission’s Copernicus Emergency Management Service. The Nepali authorities estimate that nationwide, nearly 150,000 dwellings collapsed. But larger, modern buildings, including urban hospitals and schools, mostly withstood the earthquake, reflecting more robust construction. 

                 From my point of view, when I take a look at these pictures , the first comes on my mind is sadness, calamity, cruelty and loss. These pictures make me stunned and speechless. I have just lost my mind and I can't tell how i feel right now. A lot of questions pop up in my head, What's wrong with this world? Do they have any choices? or do they deserve such a crazy disaster?

                    Many people who were facing this situation, some of them just lost their families, some of them died, some of them lost their houses, some of them became cripples and also some of them lost everything. That's so cruel. Furthermore, it was a hard time to get through because Nepal is an undeveloped country, their country is quite poverty, they also lack anything such as the public utility, the medical expertise, advance technology and also money to help their people. They are still waiting for powerful countries to lend a helping hand to recover their country.

                 It seems like Tsunami in Thailand, 2004. That was the worst and crazy disaster that we never ever met before, it damaged everything such as beautiful beaches, old architectures, residences and also our lives. It seemed like we lost anything and in that time, hundreds of holiday bungalows have been destroyed on the popular Phi Phi Island. Tourists from all over the world are thought to be among the dead. We had to take 10 more years to healing from this disaster. When someone said about Tsunami, the Tsunami's images still stuck on my head I can't get over it. It still reminds me again and again. Because of my close friend , she lost her family from this disaster. It was such a tough time to accept the worst situation like this.


                However, I do agree that a picture is worth a thousand words. In the different time, the pictures can explain the feeling more than words. Images convey emotion about what you are talking about in a powerfully sensory based way and gives additional depth to your content. Good images create an atmosphere that people want to invoke themselves in and be a part of. I’m sure by now you are well aware of the power images have over the human mind and how proper use of them can convey deep emotional connections with.

                Moreover, they affect how we see ourselves and the world around us and enhance the likelihood that we will take certain actions to stay cohesive with our identity. The pictures are powerful and when used in the right way they can influence our society. So, what about you? Do you believe a picture is worth a thousand words?
