About this ebook
A photograph is often accompanied by a caption. If it is so that the imagery is a means of communication on its own, it seems absolutely superfluous to enclose captions. Different processes seem to be behind this general effort of densification of images. This book presents some images, postcards, as I like to think about them. And there are no captions.

We constantly encounter old expressions like a picture says more than a thousand words
that point in the direction that the picture is convincing, but at the same time pictures are often accompanied by texts. How is this connected? The photographer and artist Man Ray, in his autobiography, tells about when he would give a lecture and got the proposal to start from the old Chinese proverb: An image says more than a thousand words
:
"Somehow I got the words mixed up, perhaps subconsciously intentionally, and announced that an image could produce a thousand words. Had one ever seen a picture that was not accompanied by a caption or a paragraph? Even when the work was self-evident, as the portrait of a young man holding a flower, by an old master - looking it up in the catalog I read: Portrait
