A visual image in the hand of an artist is merely a tool to trigger a mental image.

A visual image is a simple thing, a picture that enters the eyes.

If you shoot 20 times, you ought to score. That's what I told him. Eat with your left hand -- your right shoulder has got to be tired. That's a lot of shots.

It's still an important tool. Obviously, they don't stand alone like they used to but there's nothing like having visual contact with a verified navigation aid like a lighthouse. There can be no mistakes.
