The Rhetoric of the Image did not make very much sense to me. Whoever wrote it sure made it complicated. I mean who uses the word agglutination which means: clumping together, as of sperm, often due to infection, inflammation, or antibodies (google definition)? I understand the part about photographs which states that they are objective recordings, but much of the rest of the text didn't make much sense. Is the author saying that all images need a caption to explain what the image is supposed to mean to the viewer? I don't really know, its over my head.
