"Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite."
Francis Bacon

It has become a cliché to say "a picture is worth a thousand words," and yet it remains as true today as when it was first uttered by Napoleon Bonaparte. Few other means of communication have an impact as direct or as visceral as a photograph or illustration to capture the essence of the message, where it is received not in the head, but in the heart.

The artist Man Ray said, "I paint what I cannot photograph. I photograph what I do not want to paint. I paint the invisible, I photograph the visible." Some messages and concepts can be best supported with photography, while the conveying of others becomes more effective with illustration.
