Dead Language

These photographs are set up as an arguement against themselves. Is photography (a) "dead language?" The images open a dialogue among viewers that see photography as increasingly more repetative/copying, and those who see a uniquness to each new image created. I myself struggle to know if I am simply making an image I have seen before, or something that gives a sense of evolution to the medium. Does photography still communicate new ideas, or is the language dead?
