Value of communication

Value of communication

NW Corner, Michigan and Madison, Chicago, Wednesday, July 16, 12:50pm. Sunny and a soupy 90, with a threat of thundershowers in the distance. Heavy pedestrian intersection across the street from Millennium Park, which was very popular today. Sitting silently; hidden, faceless, directly facing another man holding up a sign.

Art, music, and words on a page all intend to communicate something. And that something can have a profound and even therapeutic connection to us. "Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters; Standing there with broken wings?" ("The Maker" by Daniel Lanois). What is the value of signs, how to they communicate and if you could put a value on them, how much are they worth?
