A little bit about a thousand words
It seems that 'A picture paints a thousand words' first appeared in print in New Mirror for Travellers, 1828: 'A look, which said as plainly as a thousand words.' It is also attributed to an original quote, 'One look is worth ten thousand words', in Printer's Ink, December 1921. It is perhaps of Chinese origin: 'One picture is worth ten thousand words.'
For me, it's all about painting pictures, in images or words. I have a workblog -- a photoblog -- which is where the name came from. But whatever you find here are my own observations and views, not those of my employer.
