Words and pictures have a real advantage over video, and that is that they stick around. You can open a magazine, read the article, look at the photos, put it down, and return to it later. A video, by and large, is here today, gone today. <<<<<< Actually, BD, I, I... agree with you... My point was just that pictures by themselves do not convey information as much as the feeling or look of a situation. But since we're mainly visual creatures, that is also still photography's strength. Personally, I would like to use video as a medium which has very different narrative and informative qualities than still photography, not to supplant it. The ideal situation would be to somehow integrate the two, as is beginning to happen, for instance, at the Digital Journalist. Now - disagree with that! Rob.
