Words and pictures together.

Errol Morris, the Academy Award winning Director of The Fog of War and the director of the brilliantly simple Apple "Switchers" commercials, has a blog on The New York Times select.

Here is the opening of his my recent post and the url for it. However, if you're such an anti-intellectual cheapskate that you don't subscribe to the Times online, send me a note via AdAged and, against my better judgment, I will email you back a copy.

Pictures are supposed to be worth a thousand words. But a picture unaccompanied by words may not mean anything at all. Do pictures provide evidence? And if so, evidence of what? And, of course, the underlying question: do they tell the truth?
