In common usage, an image (from Latin imago) or picture is an artifact that reproduces the likeness of some subject—usually a physical object or a person.
Images may be two dimensional, such as a photograph, or three dimensional such as in a statue. They are typically produced by optical devices—such as a cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, etc. and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human eye or water surfaces.
The word image is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure or illustration, such as a map, a graph, a pie chart, or an abstract painting. In this wider sense, images can also be produced manually, such as by drawing, painting, carving, by computer graphics technology, or a combination of the two, especially in a pseudo-photograph.

I got this email from http://www.wecansolveit.org/ this morning and thought I’d share. I encourage you to sign the petition - not only will it help get the ad aired, it will tell the mass media that we’re concerned about environmental/climate issues. Dear Joni, Did you notice the ads after last night’s presidential debate? ABC had Chevron. CBS had [...]
Feeling crabby in these uncertain times

It’s kind of a freaky time in the good ole US of A lately. First, we have this bail-out plan brewing. That federal funds have to be used to bail out Wall Street scares the blank out of me. Then I find out watching the national news that half my inheritance was lost on Wall [...]
Is Palin Failin’?

This woman scares me. The way she proudly announced during the GOP convention that her husband is “a lifelong commercial fisherman … a production operator in the oil fields of Alaska’s North Slope” sent chills down my spine. That plus the fact that she’s way too inexperienced and young for this job and was obviously [...]
They’re swarming…and it’s scarier than fiction

Back in my younger days, I worked a brief stint in the men’s department of Macy’s. I quickly bonded with one of my co-workers, and our giggle-fests ultimately got us both fired - much to our joy. I first noticed him when he was standing near me during a one-day sale and there were throngs [...]

I can’t bear the ignorance any longer. Spread the facts: SHARK FIN SOUP IS BAD

Because travel is one of life’s greatest pleasures, I often watch the Travel Channel to travel vicariously when I’m not traveling myself. There’s a show that I find interesting for its glimpse into off-the-beaten-path cultures, but not so much for its main focus - the consumption of “bizarre” food. Unfortunately, a recent episode featured the [...]
