- In your own words, summarize what Barrett means when he refers to:

- Write a concluding paragraph that includes:
- Summary of at least two other points you think the author was trying to make
- Two things you learned from this reading
- What is the author’s conclusion?
- Your reaction to the material
Two other points that the author was trying to make was about the photography itself and that every picture has a 1000 words, another point he tried to show is that a picture can have so much value and you should not look at it as a piece of art but to go deep in the picture and analyze it. Two things i have learned is that a picture or any type of art form is hard work and that a picture has so many meanings in it, another thing would be how it teaches us how we should view a picture. The authors conclusion is as i said before to show the people when you take a photo, you should go deep in details. I really liked this a]material, it made me open my eyes in photography
