A picture is worth a 1000 words can be true. As we read the chapter about images and semiotic theory which is the study of these still images or the study of signs’.  It was very interesting to read about what we may think of something such as a simple picture might be filled with a lot of information about the image or the history of that image. It was very interesting to learn that the interactive participant is the one who either painted or took the picture of the material and have something for us to learn or they are trying to tell a story. This made me think about how it these images are used in WebPages for example. A real estate webpage will have picture of a house. The description of the house may only be a couple of lines however when you look at a couple of the picture of the house you can see the size, color, condition and even some options it has such as a pool.

We can take that same picture and look at it from the represented participant side and use it to ask questions like what is the picture about? What is the picture trying to tell me? Are there vectors in the picture and if so what is the history of maybe the people in the picture like the two examples at the beginning of the chapter in the book. I thought id was very informative to learn to look deeper into a picture in order to get something out of it.
