"I have yet been exposed to finger painting of children which stir an emotion ... but then I'm probably an bit more jaded than most."
LOL Don't you have any kids?
"As to using "photos as words from a dictionary", that is the concept behind photo journalism. Reporters paint an image using words ... photogs tell a story using pictures. One reason why most major market media orgainizations require a degree in communications/journalism for their photogs ... because for them it isn't about phortography ... it is about the ability to capture and tell the story."
Also true except that Photo Journalists are supposed to only portray what is factual. The artist may use what is factual, proverbial, contrived or completely cobbled together to convey ideas, ideals or points of view that may have no bearing what so ever to anything previously existent.
It's in the margins of 'Photographic License' that artistic communication is made and as the guy walking through the woods would have said, "And that has made all the difference.".
