If a picture is worth a thousand words then what then how many words would a picture of a picture be worth?
1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000
What if the picture is split into two to form two separate pictures? Is it now worth 2000 words? or just the 1000 original words?
Don’t hurt him TOO much, manny 
But is it a thousand different words? Or the same word a thousand times?
Isn’t a letter just a picture? If so does this mean that a letter is worth a 1000 words? and what would the implications of this be?
Maybe a clue is worth a thousand words?
A letter is not a picture. A picture is a representation of something else…i.e. you’re hlding a piece of paper but you see the Statue of Liberty.
A letter is merely a figure…it is itself and not a representation of something else.
So, you can take a picture of a picture or a picture of a letter but you can’t take a letter of a picture.
That statement equating 1,000 words and a picture was made a long time ago. Inflation has eroded the value, so that, in today’s market, a pixel is barely worth about 85 words.
There was a rash of folks jumping out of windows at the last devaluation, because they had put their entire retirement savings into pictures, hoping to get an inflated investment of words, and they were sorely disappointed when the market bottomed out. (Or is that the bottom marketed out?)
Are they good words, like “excelsior”, or bad words, like “grout”?
As a photographer my motto is " a picture is worth a thousand dollars "
However, a pixel is not an entire picture. At least prior to the devaluation, an electronic image was worth 1,024 words.
ugh.
