"So to those people this image is meaningless. Which is why my high school photography teacher did not accept those kinds of pictures; refereeing to them as "bumper stickers". Nor did my college photography teachers. A picture is worth thousand words but if its a "picture" of three words its worth three words. And only to those people who read that language. I'd call this picture an extremely poorly executed text orientated sight gag which basically thumbs its nose at anybody who gives a rats ass about photography. - - from my iRabs.
