Photographs tell a story. Portraits, in my opinion, definitely share a life, even if sometimes people are making up the story as they observe and interpret an image, they've recognized something in that image that opened their eyes.
Henri Cartier-Bresson refers to the camera as a Machine Gun, it's my new favorite metaphor. He says this because it can be a weapon, a sketch book, anything. It is my medium of choice and my weapon of choice for getting what ever message or feeling I may have out, to share with the world.
