“Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.”~Duane Michals. Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why?
I both agree and disagree with this quote by Duane Michals. First, I disagree because usually a photograph such as a Polaroid shot or just a developed shot shows exactly what is going on physically. It is a captured moment in time. However, pictures taken on digital photos can be changed by photoshop, and things such as flash on the camera can brighten the area or distort the original colors. This is why I also disagree in this instance. Another reason I disagree is because a photograph really doesn't show what is going on mentally. There can be balloons and smiling faces around and people might assume its a birthday. In reality, it could just be for fun, or the people in the scene could actually be angry with each other and are just posing for the camera.
