Abstract

A picture may be worth 1,000 words, but which words to use to interpret visual images? This paper reflects on struggles and possibilities of visual analysis especially focusing on the complexities of representation. While providing examples from a project on challenges faced by female outrigger canoe paddlers aged 50 and older, the authors will discuss issues of authenticity, representational value, symbolic meanings, and other complexities of representation.
