I didn't see your work, but I might just have missed it. If you're interested in participating (in the subsequent festival) let me know, my neighbor in Logan Square is one of the organizers and they love local. Nice photo in the respect that I can feel something in that smile, that look - it conveys quite a bit.

Visual art has long had the ability to stand on its own or in context. Photography as a visual art a classic example. There are numerous photographic examples of where a photograph tells the story. Dorthea Lange is a very common example of documentary photography that told a story in a single image. Also if you look at visual communication vs. verbal the graphic image has stood test of crossing the language barriers better than anything else. So the idea does have merit, but the image does inspire ideas. In terms of the "HOW" you should also consider that this really represents a means to an end. The significance of the "HOW" is that as one becomes more competent in the tools of photography they have more at their disposal to accomplish their desired goal. This is similar to cooking. You can prepare a lot of food items using nothing but a microwave oven, but if you master a few other tools of the kitchen you'll find that your dishes take on even more flavor.
