When the words don't come I look at good photography. I wonder if photography fosters language because of its inherent ability to elicit emotion without any language. Great photography can evoke strong emotions and I believe its form (lack of language) leaves a mark in the viewer that he feels compelled to fill with language. Often, this language is not spoken, but thought. However, it’s this power that gives the still photograph a degree of its importance in society, its staying power, and its ability to effect the world.
