“Seeking to Find’

Sometimes trying to put the right picture  with a good write- up of what is going on  –  sometimes gets too much picture and too little story?  Or  vice-versa?

What’s the happy medium? Will have to go through more pictures and find the  picture that shows a good story  –    while just looking at the picture!    Like they say  – a picture is worth a thousand words!
